This is a ready reference to help medical and allied health students find the information that they need quickly and easily - an organized display of basic material that students can easily assimilate and retain. The format of the book includes a careful balance of text and illustrations. These two components, textual and pictorial are placed on opposing pages, aiding quick and easy look-up by students. The over 1000 illustrations were methodically planned and rendered with painstaking care. Every anatomical structure described is illustrated, and co-ordinated with the text by means of colour for easy identification.
