Human anatomy is the foundation upon which the education of our medical, dental, and allied health science students is built. However, today’s biomedical science curriculum must cover an ever-increasing body of scientific knowledge, often in fewer hours, as competing disciplines and new technologies emerge. Many of these same technologies, especially those in the imaging science fields, have …
Abstract The airway develops from the primitive foregut at four weeks’ gestation. Congenital anomalies may result when this process is abnormal. The anatomy of the airway at birth is uniquely different from older children and adults with a large tongue, long floppy epiglottis, large occiput and cephalad larynx. These features affect the technique required for facemask ventilation, supraglott…

The Ninth Edition of Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology is a comprehensive textbook that fulfills the needs of today’s students while addressing the concerns of their professors. This edition was shaped by the collaboration among three experienced instructors, authors Ric Martini, Judi Nath, and Ed Bartholomew. The Martini/Nath/Bartholomew team focused their attention on the question “How…
Studying the human body can be overwhelming at times. The new terminology, used to describe body parts and how they work, can make it seem as if you are studying a foreign language. Learning all the parts of the body, along with the composition of each part, and how each part fits with the other parts to make the whole requires memorization. Understanding the way each body part works individua…
An anatomy and physiology course can be the gateway to a gratifying career in a host of health-related professions. As active teachers of the course, we recognize both the rewards and challenges in providing a strong foundation for understanding the complexities of the human body to an increasingly diverse population of students. The twelfth edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology cont…
This sixth edition of Histology: A Text and Atlas with Correlated Cell and Molecular Biology continues a tradition of providing medical, dental, and allied health science students with a textual and visual introduction to histology with correlative cell biology. As in previous editions, this book is a combination “text-atlas” in that standard textbook descriptions of histologic principles …

Anatomy is the science of studying and understanding the structure and organization of the body. The art of medicine requires a strong foundation in the basic medical sciences, and anatomy is a keystone in that foundation. This concise review of human anatomy is designed for medical, dental, graduate, physician associate, nursing, physical therapy, and other health science students. It is inten…
This edition of Gran'ts Atlas has. like its predecessors, required intense research, market input and creativity. It is not enough to rely on a solid reputation; with each new edition, we have adapted and changed many aspects of the Atlas while maintaining the commitment to pedagogical excellence and anatonomical realism that has enriched its long history. Medical and health science education, …

The study of anatomy has changed enormously in the last few decades. No longer do medical students have to spend long hours in the dissecting room searching fruitlessly for the otic ganglion or tracing the small arteries that form the anastomosis round the elbow joint. They now need to know only the basic essentials of anatomy with particular emphasis on their clinical relevance and this i…
