Atlas of Anatomy for Allied Health
Overview
The Atlas of Anatomy for Allied Health is the outgrowth of Dr. David Ward’s anatomy & physiology instruction and his expertise in photography and photomicroscopy.
- The overall goal of the Atlas is to provide a compact and integrated reference of gross and microscopic anatomy for pre-nursing and other allied health students.
- The Atlas is also designed to be used as a primary guide or as a supplement to laboratory exercises in anatomy.
- Based on four-color photographs and illustrations of anatomical models, specimens and histological material from anatomy labs.
- Each page focuses on a specific topic, is clean and simple in design, and parallels the organization of anatomy and anatomy/physiology textbooks.
- Includes brilliant four-color photomicrographs with a wide range of magnification using fluorescence, darkfield, polarized light, and standard brightfield microscopy.
- The Atlas includes a comprehensive index of all structures labeled in the four-color photographs and illustrations.
