STM publisher Thieme Publishing Group, Germany, recently published the Atlas of Anatomy Latin Nomenclature, Second Edition. The resource is the Latin version of the latest edition of Anne Gilroy et al.'s Atlas of Anatomy, which became a bestseller by promoting the process of learning anatomy while providing exquisite art and clinical context.
The new edition is said to take the same user-friendly approach as the first edition and is packed with over 2,400 full-colour illustrations. It guides users step-by-step through each region of the body, helping them master the details of anatomy.
Popular features retained from the first edition include coverage of each region intuitively arranged to simplify learning. Over 170 tables summarise key anatomic information for ease of study and review. An innovative, user-friendly format is used, in which each two-page spread is a self-contained guide to a topic. Muscle Fact spreads are seen to facilitate memorisation, reference and review. These organise the essentials about muscles, including origin, insertion, innervation and action.
The features of the new edition include more clinical correlations to help students make the connection between anatomy and medicine. Surface anatomy spreads now include regions and reference lines or planes in addition to landmarks and palpable structures to develop physical exam skills. Also, new sectional anatomy spreads at the end of units build familiarity with 2D views of anatomic regions.
