Essentials of Anatomy for Dental Students

Description

Provides a basic knowledge of anatomy for dental students with information presented in a simple way to help students easily remember important facts about the human body. It discusses all branches of anatomy, such as general embryology, special embryology of the head and neck, histology of tissues of all systems of human body, neuroanatomy, clinical anatomy and the basic knowledge about genetics along with anatomical terms.

Key Features

• The required basic knowledge of anatomy for dental students is provided
• Simple way of presentation is done for understanding and remembering the facts about human body
• Diagrammatic and photographic pictures of the same histological tissues are given adjacently to help the students understand the details as well as to identify it under the microscope
• Photographs of real bone specimens are given to identify the features of a skull and individual bones of a skull easily. Students will find it easy and comfortable to revise osteology inside or outside the classroom
• Well illustrated diagrams are given along with description in each chapter
• Many Photographs of different clinical conditions are presented
• Multiple choice questions are given for self-assessment by students.
