About this title

Synopsis

Internationally known and well-respected, the outstanding Gosling team returns with a new 4th edition of Human Anatomy. Still unique in the field, this text combines colour photographs and full-colour artwork in one convenient resource. The dissections are amazingly clear - some almost 3-D in appearance - and colour-coded artwork next to each photo makes anatomy easy to interpret and identify.

The only atlas of human anatomy that illustrates structures using high-quality dissection photographs and accompanying line drawings.

Clear, easy-to-understand dissections, reflecting more closely the specimens that medical students are likely to see in the lab and be tested on.

Interpretive line drawings next to every photograph allow students to test their knowledge by covering the labels.

Colour-coding on interpretive artwork teaches the reader how to differentiate between fat, muscle, ligament, etc.

Clinical Skills pages help the reader understand how to apply knowledge of gross anatomy to the clinical setting.

Features a slightly larger overall size, with increased font size, shorter paragraphs, and more headings for improved readability throughout.

Includes more clinical tips and summary boxes.

Introduces more MRI, CT, and plain film images.

Replaces cross-sections viewed from above with those viewed from below, keeping current with today's convention.

Updates anatomical terminology throughout.

Adds specially commissioned, unlabelled prosections to Exam Skills pages for more effective self-assessment on structure recognition.
