Human Anatomy, sixth edition.was written to serve as a foundation and resource for students pursuing health-related careers in fields such as medicine, dentistry, nursing, physician assistant, podiatry, optometry, chiropractic, medical technology, physical therapy, athletic training, massage therapy, and other healthrelated professions. Created to accompany the one-semester human anatomy course, this text presents a basic introduction to human anatomy for students enrolled in medical, allied-health, and physical education programs, or for those majoring in biological science. The focus of Human Anatomy is to provide applicable knowledge of the structure of the human body and foundation information for understanding physiology, cell biology, developmental biology, histology, and genetics. Practical information is presented in this text that will enable students to apply pertinent facts to the real-world situations they might encounter in their chosen profession. Many new illustrations, radiographs, and photographs (including images of cadaver dissections) make this text even more useful. Strengthening clinical aspects of the text has been another major focus in the sixth edition. Additional Clinical Practicums have been added at the ends of the chapters throughout the text. These case studies and their accompanying images test student knowledge and demonstrate the application of anatomical information in a clinical setting. A final task in creating the sixth edition of Human Anatomy has been to revise the content for currentness and accuracy. In keeping with the pace of research, updated information is presented on the history of current human genome research, the structure of DNA and RNA, protein synthesis, utilization of stem cells from red bone marrow and fetal tissue, and the classification of hair. The comprehensive nature of the sixth edition of this text and its current clinical information enable it to be used as a valuable reference resource regarding the structure, function, development, senescence, and possible dysfunctions of the human body.
