, by renowned educators Michael Schuenke, Erik Schulte, and Udo Schumacher, along with consulting editor Cristian Stefan, features revised images and text. This three-in-one atlas combines exquisite illustrations, brief descriptive text/tables, and clinical applications, making it an invaluable instructor- and student-friendly resource for lectures and exam prep. Head and neck sections encompass the bones, ligaments, joints, muscles, lymphatic system, organs, related neurovascular structures, and topographical and sectional anatomy. The neuroanatomy section covers the histology of nerve and glial cells and autonomic nervous system, then delineates different areas of the brain and spinal cord, followed by sectional anatomy and functional systems. The final section features a glossary and CNS synopses.

Key Features

• More than 1,800 extraordinarily accurate and beautiful illustrations by Markus Voll and Karl Wesker enhance understanding of anatomy
• A significant number of images have been revised to reflect gender and ethnic diversity
• Superb topographical illustrations support dissection in the lab
• Two-page spreads provide a teaching and learning tool for a wide range of single anatomic concepts

This visually stunning atlas is an essential companion for medical students or residents interested in pursuing head and neck subspecialties or furthering their knowledge of neuroanatomy. Dental and physical therapy students, as well as physicians and physical therapists seeking an image-rich, clinical practice resource will also benefit from consulting this remarkable atlas.

The series also includes two additional volumes, and .

All volumes of the series are available in softcover English/International Nomenclature and in hardcover with Latin nomenclature.

 1.1 Regions and Palpable Bony Landmarks

A Head and neck regions

 Right anterior view.

B Head and neck regions

 Right posterior view.

C Head and neck regions

Head regions

Neck regions

Frontal region Parietal region Occipital region Temporal region Auricular region Mastoid region Facial region Orbital region Infraorbital region Buccal region Parotid-masseteric region Zygomatic region Nasal region Oral region Mental region

Anterior cervical regions Submandibular triangle Carotid triangle Muscular (omotracheal) triangle Submental triangle Sternocleidomastoid region Lesser supraclavicular fossa Lateral cervical region Omoclavicular triangle (major supraclavicular fossa) Posterior cervical region

The regions of the head and neck are clinically important since they can exhibit many skin lesions, the location of which must be precisely described. This is particularly important for skin cancer given that the tissue fluid, through which the tumor cells spread, drains into different groups of lymph nodes named for their location.

D Regions of the neck (cervical regions)

 a Right lateral view, b left posterior oblique view.

These neck muscles are easily visible and palpable making them suitable as landmarks for a topographical classification of the neck.

 E Palpable bony landmarks at the head and neck

 a Frontal view.

 b Dorsal view.

 1.2 Head and Neck and Cervical Fasciae

The head and neck form an anatomical and functional unit with the neck connecting the head and the trunk. The neck contains many pathways to which the cervical viscera are indirectly attached. In the head however, there is only visceral fascia around the parotid gland but no general fasciae. Multiple fascial layers subdivide the neck into compartments which will be referred to when describing the location of structures within the neck.
