In the previous edition, the matter was arranged in form of paragraphs. With this format the author tries to simplify the difficult subject of anatomy as far as possible. * The matter, which may be difficult to learn, has been tabulated in form of easy-to -understand tables. * The figures have been simplified further. Now they have become self-explanatory, simple to understand reproduce during the exams.
Distinguishing Features * The book is mainly mainly meant for undergraduate students and also helpful for postgraduates. Text is arranged in an easy-to-understand format along with well explained clinical correlations of anatomical structures. * Through this book, the author tries to take his young reader through a journey of discovering human anatomy that is as interesting as it is informative. * Contains numerous high quality well elucidated illustrations, which would be self-explanatory for undergraduates as well as postgraduates. * The information given is graded into different levels for undergraduates and postgraduates, with the information meant for postgraduate and bright students being arranged in pink coloured boxes titled as ?want to know more?. This further helps simplify the text. * Clinical matter has been arranged in the form of separate green coloured boxes titled ?Clinical Correlation?.
