Description
Now in its 9th edition, this standard text offers a regional description of the human body that is very user-friendly, following logical dissection sequences. It provides students with all pertinent information on a region (such as the upper limb) in one chapter which includes its bones, muscles, joints, blood vessels, nerves, etc. in a compact and logical order. The book is fully illustrated and includes superb color plates. Among the complete textbooks of human anatomy, it is perhaps the most concise. For this edition the authors have included a new discussion of medical imaging techniques and have added many new diagnostic images. All their examples of imaging techniques are state-of-the-art quality and are related to the normal anatomy. They have also included a new section on terminology that will materially aid the student in understanding the common Greek and Latin prefixes, suffixes, and stems of anatomical terms. Finally, they have expanded the embryology section. As in all previous editions, refinements have been made throughout the book in both the text and the illustrations.

Description
This revised and updated text provides students with a regional description of the human body. The format follows logical dissection sequences, and each chapter presents the relevant information on a particular area, such as bones, muscles, joints, blood vessels and nerves. A new section on imaging techniques includes state-of-the-art examples of imaging related to normal anatomy. There is also a new section to aid the understanding of Greek and Latin terminology.
