ABSTRACT

This A to Z guide is intended to provide a quick and easily accessible reference for students of musculoskeletal anatomy.

The book makes comprehensive reference information available in a concise and easily accessible format. Relevant information about musculoskeletal anatomy can be located quickly and easily without searching through a traditional anatomy textbook that includes details of all of the systems of the body. The compact format of the textbook and A to Z arrangement of entries enables topics of interest to be located quickly and easily.
