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.

The book’s consistent presentation (actual cadaveric dissection photos with pertinent labels that allow
readers to view “real” human anatomy and color diagrams that clarify each structure’s purpose, along
with high yield bulleted information beside the images) helps readers understand what’s shown in the
photographs and visualize the relationships between structures.
