This is a regionally-oriented gross anatomy text focused on the basic core knowledge today's medical students need throughout their careers. Throughout the book, prominence is given to those regions with the greatest relevance to clinical practice. Clinical cases demonstrating the practical application of anatomical principles introduce important topics and help to maintain student interest. Brief reviews of pertinent developmental anatomy are incorporated as necessary to aid understanding. Colour-coded tables summarize origin, insertion, innervation, and actions of muscles for quick access and review. Coverage of each region concludes with a systems overview of major points - a valuable learning and revision aid. The text is complemented by original colour line drawings and photographs. Many examples of cross-sectional imaging in each of the modalities most often used today - CT, MRI, and ultrasound - help students to develop visual diagnostic skills
