Main description:

Sobotta Tables of Muscles, Joints and Nerves

The booklet comprises 100 tables with schematic illustrations of muscles to facilitate their systematic study. You can use it in combination with the Atlas: just take a table and look at the corresponding figure in the Atlas to learn all about the origin, insertion, innervation and function of an individual muscle. In the figure legends you will find a cross-reference to the corresponding muscle table, and vice versa from a table to the figure exposing a specific muscle.

The 16th edition of "Sobotta" not only presents 600 completely revised images, but also 250 new insights into the human body. In this edition even more attention was paid on the clinical relevance and regarding the medical exam. With its expanded content on more than 1,300 pages including 500 exemplary test items of medical exams, the "Sobotta" is now bigger than ever before.

Clinical relevance: being illustrated by a typical case history in each chapter
Dissection tips: valuable hints and know-how of experts as optimal preparation for exercises in the dissection room
Focusing the essential: by bold-typing of keywords in legends and labels
Exemplary test items of oral anatomical exams: to check one's knowledge

Structure and layout

Optimal orientation: by unequivocal descriptions, clear structural arrangement and improved layout
Learning with legends: comprehensive legends highlight the anatomical key structures and explain their anatomical relationships
Focusing the essential: by bold-typing key structures in legends and labels
