Phrases Are Used Instead Of Complete Sentences Where Possible. About One Third Of The Outline Entries Are One Or Two Lines Of Text; The Rest Are Short Descriptive Paragraphs. Important Words Are In Boldface. There Is Broad Topical Coverage For Such A Brief Format. Included Are Functional Considerations, Clinical Emphasis, Radiology, Topography, Surface Anatomy, Organizing Concepts, And Special Notes About Some Of The Structures. There Are No Tables, Hardly Any Figures, And No Index. At The End Of The Book Are 70 Board-type Questions Covering All Four Subject Areas.
