Functional Anatomy Of The Digestive System

Out Of Print ... In this lucid and fresh approach to the subject, the authors not only describe the gross anatomy of the digestive system, including the mouth and teeth, but also intergrate this with an examination of function and microscopic structure. This gives the book a breadth of interest and application unusual in an essentially anatomical text. An important feature of the book is the short summary at the beginning of each chapter which gives the newcomer a synopsis of the main topics that are covered in the text and provides the student with revision notes. The illustrations, which include photomicrographs, are generally in the form of simple line drawings. Their purpose is not to provide precise topographical detail of every region but to emphasize those points that matter most to those studying human anatomy as the essential prelude to clinical practice.
