Author Description
For the twelfth edition of this classic textbook, the whole text has been reviewed and revised to take into account new developments in the study and teaching of anatomy. Chapters on the central nervous system, digestive system, and respiratory system have been almost entirely rewritten. A completely new feature is the addition of an atlas of anatomical structure using radiographs and tomographs (CT scans).
