Anatomy of the Vessels and Nerves of the Trunk (Angioneurology) - Chornokulskyi, S. T. 2011

Preface

The section of human anatomy "Vessels and nerves of the Trunk", like the previous one—angioneurology of the HEAD and Neck—is synthetic and analytical in nature. It traditionally begins with The Study of the central organ of The Cardiovascular system—The Heart, specifically focusing on its development in the Prenatal period of ontogenesis and changes within the system after birth.

Overall, the proposed study guide presents seven chapters on the angioneurology of the trunk: "Development of the Human Heart and Fetal Circulation", "Cardiovascular System, Heart", "Arteries of the Trunk", "Veins OF THE Trunk", "NERVES OF THE trunk, Thoracic nerves", and "Autonomic (vegetative) Nervous system of the Trunk".

As expected, There are many similarities between the two aforementioned study guides on angioneurology. These include the fundamentals of general angiology and macrovasculogenesis, a shared approach to studying arteries, veins, and nerves, and a clinical-anatomical perspective aimed at fostering clinical thinking. As in the previous series of study guides, the author employs an integrated learning complex methodology: a textbook paired with an atlas based on the principles of eidetism.

In addition to original diagrams and anatomical specimens, the guide systematically organizes and modifies illustrative Materials from renowned morphologists such as G. F. Ivanov (1949), I. E. Kefeli (1963), C. Cabrol (1978), and H. Gray (1989). These materials have been adapted to the Ukrainian text and the national standards of the International Anatomical Nomenclature (São Paulo, 1997; Kyiv, 2001).
