Description
This concise, well-illustrated textbook of gross anatomy emphasizes basic principles, functional aspects, and the clinical significance of anatomy. It follows a standard regional organization and covers the essential anatomy a medical student needs to know for class and for the USMLE. The illustrations consist of straightforward, detailed two-color diagrams that focus on functional anatomy. Clinical correlations throughout make anatomy concepts relevant to the practice of medicine. The easy-to-read style and student-friendly design elements aid the learning process by relating details to larger concepts.

Audience
Medical students.
