    About this ebook

    Atlas of Human Body: Central Nervous System and Vascularization is a multidisciplinary approach to the technical coverage of anatomical structures and relationships. It contains surface and 3D dissection images, native and colored cross sectional views made in different planes, MRI comparisons, demonstrations of cranial nerve origins, distribution of blood vessels by dissection, and systematic presentation of arterial distribution from the precapillary level, using the methyl metacrylate injection and subsequent tissue digestion method.

    Included throughout are late prenatal (fetal) and early postnatal images to contribute to a better understanding of structure/relationship specificity of differentiation at various developmental intervals (conduits, organs, somatic, or branchial derivatives). Each chapter features clinical correlations providing a unique perspective of side-by side comparisons of dissection images, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. Created after many years of professional and scientific cooperation between the authors and their parent institutions, this important resource will serve researchers, students, and doctors in their professional work.

    • Contains over 700 color photos of ideal anatomical preparations and sections of each part of the body that have been prepared, recorded, and processed by the authors
    • Covers existing gaps including developmental and prenatal periods, detailed vascular anatomy, and neuro anatomy
    • Features a comprehensive alphabetical index of structures for ease of use
    • Features a companion website which contains access to all images within the book

    Preface

    Anatomy is one of the oldest medical sciences that still continues today, and is the foundation for the study and practice of the medical arts. It provides, first of all, the basic vocabulary of the medical world and the necessary skills required in solving health–disease problems in three-dimensional space. By sequentially dissecting a region, the anatomical analysis leads to a gradually expanding appreciation of the entire makeup of the human body. This process is fundamental in providing biophysical data for subsequent conceptual elaboration and integration of morphological data into a meaningful functional complex. Dissection, considered the most ancient method of studying an anatomical subject, survived scrutiny and the test of time throughout the history of medicine. However, it still remains a reliable method of scientific and pedagogical analysis of fundamental human structure and function, which is important for minute differential assessment between normal and abnormal conditions, as well as for the optimal treatment of abnormal (diseased) conditions.

    Atlas of the Human Body, Central Nervous System and Vascularization has been written with several goals in mind. The most important one was to establish a detailed coverage of anatomical structures/relationships throughout topographic regions, as completely as it was technically possible. To avoid overcrowding of photographs by labels and to provide better visibility of images, two, three, or even more similar regional views, in some instances, have been utilized. In addition to adult specimens, a few prenatal examples were utilized to enable a better understanding of structure/relation specificity of corporal differentiation (conduits, organs, somatic, and branchial derivatives) at various developmental intervals. Another quest of this Atlas was to systematically present arterial distribution, up to the precapillary level, using the methyl methacrylate injection and subsequent digestion of tissue method. The resulting photographic presentation of the arterial distribution throughout topographic regions, organs, and special subregions makes this Atlas a unique and invaluable published document in the arsenal of the existing academic literature. The present Atlas, furthermore, contains a very rich collection of: surface and three-dimensional dissection images, native and colored cross-sectional views made in different plans (whenever appropriate these views were compared, side by side, with dissection images), and the distribution of blood vessels throughout body regions and central nervous system. A separate segment of Atlas is devoted
