Description
Content

Anatomical Terminology and Tissues is the sixth book in the series of Essential Anatomy Synopses. This text contains content on Anatomical Terminology (Definitions, Positional Descriptors, Cardinal Planes, Movement Descriptors, and Types of Joints) as well as Tissues to include Epithelium, Connective Tissue Proper, Cartilage, Bone, Muscle, Nervous Tissue as well as Blood and Lymph Vessels. This text includes clinical correlations to function, dysfunction, injury, healing, and aging. After each content area, there are short answer Study Questions to help students relate and apply the anatomy.
