Grant's Dissector, Seventeenth Edition
provides step-by-step human cadaver dissection procedures for students
to perform in the anatomy lab and to recognize important relationships
revealed through dissection. More informative and approachable than
ever, this updated seventeenth edition broadens students' understanding
of key dissection procedures and readies them for success in healthcare
practice.
Each chapter is consistently organized beginning
with a Dissection Overview that provides a blueprint of what needs to be
accomplished during the dissection session and includes relevant
surface anatomy. Dissection Instructions offer a logical sequence and
numbered steps for the dissection. The Dissection Follow-up emphasizes
important features of the dissection and encourages students to reflect
on and synthesize the information.
New and revised
illustrations, including new surface landmark illustrations, strengthen
students' grasp of common dissection procedures.
New chapter introductions focus students' attention on relevant Clinical Correlations.
Reorganized
Skeletal and Surface Anatomy sections guide students logically from
palpating bony structures to making skin incisions.
Enhanced and streamlined cross-references reinforce understanding with direct links to related content in Grant's Atlas of Anatomy as well as Grant's Dissection Videos.
Dissection Overviews guide students through relevant surface anatomy and osteology.
Numbered, step-by-step Dissection Instructions clarify procedures and enhance the dissection experience.
Full-color illustrations improve students' accuracy and precision from initial incisions through deeper dissections.
Clinical Correlation boxes place procedures in a clinical context to ready students for healthcare practice.
