Atlas Of Anatomy For Attorneys

Designed for the attorney-reader, this text describes human anatomy with an emphasis on terminology and the general anatomy of each of the systems of the body. It includes case studies which have been selected to incorporate in context a great deal of the anatomy of the region to be considered.

ABA Medical-Legal Guides: Clinical Anatomy for Lawyers offers in-depth coverage and medical illustrations of each bodily system, including the common diseases and disorders of each and their relevant legal issues and cases. Several medical problems that overlap body systems--such as trauma, immune disorders, and pain--are also included, along with their legal ramifications.

This book provides attorneys and research assistants with quick and easy access to information previously found only by searching multiple sources. The format of the book includes a careful balance of text describing anatomic structures and illustrations enhancing those descriptions. The text is placed on one page with its corresponding illustrations on the opposing page. Information is grouped into separate sections of arteries, bones, muscles, nerves, and veins. These anatomic structures are alphabetized, by Latin nomenclature, to expedite access to them. Although the Latin and English terms are sufficiently similar, an index of the English equivalents has been added at the end of the book. Each illustration is coordinated with the text by means of colour and a large bold letter for easy identification. The book provides clear and concise descriptions of technical anatomic information.
