This set of volumes is a companion to a program, supplemented by lectures and dissection, on the study of human anatomy. Each volume highlights important general concepts of anatomy and lists the structures in context that must be understood in a study program. The coverage caters for the needs of students of medical and paramedical disciplines. Emphasis is on carefully organizing major regions and promoting focused active learning through accurate labeling of anatomical drawings and posing clinical questions.

This book is a concise but comprehensive text for review and self evaluation in the study of the microscopic anatomy of the major organ systems of the body. It aims to meet the requirements of students of Medicine, Dentistry, Histopathology, Mammalian Biology and the Paramedical Sciences. The subjects have been chosen to complement a program of physiology and dissection or prosection. Basic concepts of cell and tissue biology are presently considered in separate prerequisite units integrated with biochemistry and genetics and are not included in this text. The approach has been to focus on unique features or diagnostic differences between cells, their function and organisation into organs rather than on pure morphologic description. Developmental aspects of certain organs have been described where these contribute to understanding functional relationships between cells in organ systems.A uniform text structure (point form) helps the reader to organise, review and retain pertinent information. A summary procedes each chapter which helps to focus on key concepts. Each topic is also prefaced by a list of objectives which serve as a guide for review. In addition, a list of key words (bold in the text), phrases and concepts that should be defined as a result of reading the text. The terminology follows that in contemporary use giving alternative names according to Nomina Histological where possible. A series of plates illustrates in line drawings the major features of cells in organs based on electron micrographs. In addition, tables show functional relationships between cells or their products.

A Synopsis of Regional Anatomy offers concise and essential knowledge on the human anatomy. Unlike other textbooks on anatomy, this book is arranged in regions rather than in systems. As such, it is more consistent with the prevailing approaches to clinical examination and regional surgery as well as directing attention towards the principles of body function and organization. It is divided into eight regions that can be studied either collectively or in isolation. Factual information is presented for typical areas defined by fascial compartments; muscles are described in functional groups; blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves of the area are discussed; and regional landmarks, their boundaries, and contents important in clinical examination are explained. Written in a format that encourages self-directed learning, this book will be a valuable reference for self-study and also as a guide for dissection in the laboratory.
