Synopsis

This book establishes the foundation for studying bones, their composition, and their articulation. Early chapters give an overview of the development, classification, and general properties and characteristics of bone tissue. The latter half of the book is a descriptive regional anatomy of the skeleton: the skull and its components; the vertebral column, ribs, and sternum; the shoulder girdle; the bones of the upper limbs; the pelvic girdle; and the bones of the lower extremities. Throughout, the author includes unique insights into the relationship between the needs of the bone and its form, capturing the essence of the evolutionary origins of bone structure. This book is a classic reference and is equally suited for students of anatomy and practicing physicians seeking a comprehensive, detailed reference.
