As it started planning this Atlas, the publisher sought out the opinions and needs of students and lecturers in both the United States and Europe. The goal was to find out what the "ideal" atlas of anatomy should be-ideaL for students wanting to learn from the atlas, master the extensive amounts of information while on a busy class schedule,and, in the process, acquire sound, up-to-date knowledge. The result of this work is this Atlas. The THIEME Atlas of Anatomy, unlike most other atlases, is a comprehensive educational tool that combines illustrations with explanatory text and summarizing tables, introducing clinical applications throughout, and presenting anatomical concepts in a step-by-step sequence that allows for the integration of both system-by-system and topographical views.

Neck and Internal Organs, the second book in the THIEME Atlas of Anatomy series,integrates clinical information into a beautifully illustrated exposition of anatomy.Each chapter of the book presents anatomical information step-by-step, layer-by-layer, moving from spaces, to organs, to blood vessels, the lymphatic system, and autonomous innervation, with unprecedented clarity. The atlas features a unique section on the neurovascular supply for each organ, detailing arteries, veins,lymph nodes, and innervation.

Special features of this landmark atlas:

An innovative format in which each two-page spread presents a self-contained guide to the specific topic

More than 950 brilliant images created exclusively for this atlas

Hundreds of clinical applications emphasize the vital link between structure and function

Clearly labeled images help identify each structure

Sumlnary tables throughout which are ideal for reference and review
