Updated, student‑friendly anatomy reference with clear organization
This edition reorganizes the work to help students learn anatomy more easily. The first volume covers the special or descriptive anatomy of bones, joints, muscles, vessels, and nerves, and includes surgical anatomy as part of the Muscles and Bloodvessels section. It also adds a concise overview of morphology and expands muscle variety descriptions. The editors, including Dr. Thomson and collaborators, revised key areas and added new figures to illustrate the bones, muscles, and cranial nerves. The second volume revises general anatomy and the heart, respiratory and digestive organs, and senses, with new material and updated figures throughout. Aimed at presenting a clear, elementary view of human anatomy, the work combines foundational anatomy with practical notes for study and reference. This edition also compiles terms and indices to support quick lookups.
What you’ll experience:
- A structured, two‑volume approach that groups descriptive anatomy by topic.
- Expanded coverage of bones, muscles, nerves, vessels, and the cranial nerves.
