While there are certainly a wealth of gross anatomy texts available, most are better suited for reference than for mastery of the basic anatomy required to be a suc- ‘cessful medical student and physician, Its our intention that Anatomy Recall and an atlas are all you will ned for a comprehonsive study of basic anatomy’ ‘Anatomy Recalls arranged in the extremely successful question-and-answer Format that defines the entiee Recall series—a format that emphasizes active acquisition of knowledge, rather than passive absorption of it. Where appro- priate simple figures have been included to supplement the text material. Fach Chapter concludes with a “power review” that covers the most important and Frequently tested facts in each subject area. These power roviews are ideal for 4 quick review prior to an anatomy examination, a board examination, oF a surgery clerkship, ‘Anatomy is an exciting yet demanding course. It is important to have a text that is comprehensive yet readable and emphasizes (and reemphasizes) key points. A thorough initial study of anatomy wil continue to reward you through ‘outa lifetime of clinial practice. It is our hope that Anatomy Recall will prove to be an invaluable tool for mastering the subject of anatomy. Good luck! ‘The EditorsAcknowledgments. “The editors would like to acknowledge Melanie Cann, Amy Dinkel, Julie Mar- tine, and Elizabeth Nieginski at Lippincott Williams & Wilkins for their help and vision in bringing this book to fruition, xOverview Itis important to adhere toa certain formalism when describing the location or jovement of one body part relative to another, therefore, a significant portion 1 course (like many introductory courses in medicine) is devoted -ating with other healtheare pro ofthe toteac fessionals. language necessary for comm ANATOMIC POSITION What standard position is That of a human standing facing forward, assumed when deseribing feet pointing forward " the human body? outward (the “anatoraie position”) ANATOMIC PLANES.
