Summary

This textbook responds to the growing trend of the medical school curriculum moving toward an integrated, organ system-based approach. Based on Snell's established and successful gross anatomy textbook, Clinical Anatomy, this book uses most of the schematic illustrations and many of the same pedagogical features to approach the study of anatomy from a systems-based orientation.
