Topographic Anatomy in Imaging Methods and Sections is an anatomical atlas that should serve as a comprehensive study material for the subject “Anatomy – practice”. This atlas was carefully compiled to provide students with clear and concise information about the anatomical structure of the human body and thus facilitating orientation in individual structures during practical training. The atlas is divided into chapters according to the syllabus, i.e., in accordance with the individual parts of the body, as they are systematically discussed within the given subject. The aim is for this atlas not only to facilitate the study of Anatomy but also to become a valuable guide in future medical practice.

The texts are primarily intended as a theoretical basis for practical exercises in physiology. They do not replace a classical textbook of physiology and mastering the knowledge summarized in them is not sufficient to pass the final exam.

They will help in orienting you to the subject, summarizing the basic knowledge, including key words and terms you need to know on the topic. These texts are based on many years of experience of the teachers of the Institute of Physiology of the Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University with what most often causes problems for students in practical exercises (and possibly in the practical exam).
