Human Anatomy. Atlas. Educational Guide in 3 Volumes. Volume II

The atlas of human anatomy, prepared by renowned anatomists — Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor D. B. Nikityuk, and Professors S. V. Klochkova and N. T. Alekseeva, continues the traditions of similar publications (atlases by R. D. Sinelnikov and M. R. Sapin), covering the complete course of human anatomy in detail and meticulously examining the human body from anatomical positions based on a systematic principle. At the same time, this atlas, along with the classical interpretation of anatomical material, is unique due to its significantly greater compliance with modern scientific standards and applied focus, including data from high-tech studies of various organs and regions of the body (computed tomography, ultrasound data, magnetic resonance imaging, electron microscopy, etc.). The atlas of human anatomy combines the text part with illustrative material, thoroughly covering all sections of anatomy. High-quality colored illustrations are supplemented with explanatory captions in three languages (Russian, Latin, English), in which anatomical objects are presented in accordance with contemporary International Anatomical Terminology (TA2, 2024). The information is presented in detail, at a high professional level, fully in line with the high modern educational requirements and standards, but without unnecessary details. The authors pay significant attention to the topographic-anatomical (clinical) approach, considering the syntopy of organs, vessels, and nerves in different areas of the body; the anatomy of practically significant fascial spaces is also covered in detail. This atlas, considering its composition and the comprehensiveness of the presented material, is quite sufficient for studying human anatomy (completely capable of replacing a textbook); it is not only essential in the process of medical students studying human anatomy, but will also be useful for residents, postgraduates, and clinicians of various specialties.
