Book Description
Anatomy & Physiology is part of the core curriculum in surgical technology and is the key basic science course around which the knowledge of surgical technology revolves. However, most conventional A & P textbooks do not cover the surgical aspects of A & P that surgical technologists require. Surgical Anatomy and Physiology for the Surgical Technologist provides the basic concepts of A & P with the important addition of surgical A & P. It addresses the implications for the surgical technologist in understanding the surgical A & P as related to each body system. Throughout the textbook examples are given as to how the A & P of a particular body system or organ relates to a surgical procedure. This resource includes two case studies, review questions, key terms, and objectives for each chapter including information boxes that give brief descriptions of surgical procedures and information. It meets the requirements of the current edition of the Core Curriculum for Surgical Technology.
