Review Of Student
As a personal preference, Snell’s is a beautiful book. The best part about it is the clinical application, which subtly explains how important a good knowledge of anatomy is.
Well illustrated, and thoroughly explained concepts, my vote goes for Snell’s.
Preface
This book provides medical students, dental students, allied
health students, and nursing students with a basic knowl- edge of anatomy that is clinically relevant.
In this new edition, further efforts have been made to
weed out unnecessary material and reduce the size of the text. The following changes have been introduced.
1. The text and tables have been reviewed and trimmed
where necessary.
2. All the illustrations have been reviewed and some
have been discarded where duplication occurs.
3. The anatomy of common medical procedures has
been carefully reviewed. Sections on the complica-tions caused by the ignorance of normal anatomy have been retained.
4. The Clinical Problems and Review Questions are

Each chapter of Clinical Anatomy is constructed in a
similar manner. This gives students ready access to material and facilitates moving from one part of the book to another. Each chapter is divided into the following categories:
1. Clinical Example: A short case report that dramatizes
the relevance of anatomy in medicine introduces each chapter.
2. Chapter Objectives: This section focuses the student on
the material that is most important to learn and understand in each chapter. It emphasizes the basic structures in the area being studied so that, once mastered, the stu-
dent is easily able to build up his or her knowledge base.
This section also points out structures on which examiners have repeatedly asked questions.
