Thousands of students enter pre-med programs or medical school each year (70 thousand alone take the MCAT test), and one of the first classes required of them is a tough introductory anatomy course. In addition, knowledge of human anatomy is required of 'allied health workers' - those in the healthcare industry whose training does not include full medical school, but whose numbers are estimated at more than 6.6 million workers and growing rapidly.
Like its counterparts in calculus, chemistry, and physics, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Anatomy, Illustrated is aimed at students who need an understandable supplement to their more rigorous textbook. However, unlike students of other introductory courses, anatomy students must achieve more than a passing grade, and their retention of what they learn can be a life-and-death matter.
With that in mind, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Anatomy, Illustrated provides focused, thorough, highly illustrated coverage of the body's tissues, systems, regions, and its common diseases and disorders. In it readers will find:
An overview of cell structure and the body's tissues.
Illustrated breakdown of nine body systems.
Illustrated coverage of the body's anatomy by region.
Common diseases and disorders of the regions.
