DESCRIPTION
Detailed enough for your students to use as an atlas and concise enough for efficient review, Human Gross Anatomy
provides concentrated coverage of anatomy that promotes learning rather than rote memorization. Throughout the book,
high quality cadaveric photographs and explanatory diagrams are presented side by side with to-the-point bulleted
explanations to help students develop a true understanding of each anatomical structure.
Addressing current curricula trends with a systemic approach to anatomy, consistently structured within regional chapters
to reflect the structure used in dissection labs, this practical, user-friendly book highlights important muscle information
through “action boxes” and uses color-coded labels for origin, insertion, and innervation. The book is accompanied by a
complete image bank to enhance lecture and exam preparation.

information beside the images) helps readers understand what’s shown in the photographs and visualize the relationships
between structures.
