Anatomy

350 magnificent color illustrations taken from the classic "Gray's Anatomy", the most famous textbook on anatomy in the English-speaking world, are accompanied in this edition by concise and clear descriptions. All nomenclature has been brought into line with modern requirements,... and the terms used are explained in a brief glossary. The compact and convenient format makes this book an indispensable guide for anyone who wants to gain a clear understanding of the structure and functions of the organs and systems of the human body. "Following the order of presentation conceived by Gray, we begin with the description and demonstration of the skeleton, after which we proceed to the more superficial parts of the body, explaining what they are made of, what they are called, what function they serve, and how they do it. Each bone, each joint, each organ is shown from different angles and in relation to the surrounding tissues and organs. We aimed to create a book that is as accessible as possible to a wide range of readers and to make the text serve merely as an aid to understanding the material from the excellent black-and-white and color illustrations."
