دانلود کتاب An Anatomical Wordbook

Anatomy is a science which, to many of its students, is couched in words which are difficult to understand, being drawn from other languages, cultures and eras. Many have found a breakthrough in comprehension of the subject through a fuller understanding of its terminology since the words used are merely simple descriptions of anatomical structures but in an unfamiliar language. It is the aim of this book to provide all who study anatomy with a simple reference guide to such words in order that their comprehension of the subject may be enhanced. This is not simply a dictionary of anatomical words, although there is a central alphabetical glossary. Rather, numerous words have been omitted from this glossary and grouped together by common themes into a series of relatively short sections at the front of the book. In this way, cross-referencing within these themes is made much easier since all related entries are in one place. The list of contents is a very necessary indicator and guide to the location of word. Numerous anatomical structures additionally bear the name of a person with whom they have become associated. Although the use of eponyms is now discouraged, their use is not extinct and so a list is provided at the end
