Gray's Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Medicine and Surgery
This book is the thirty-eighth edition of what has become without doubt the most famous medical book in the world. This edition, and only this edition, is the latest addition to an unbroken line of ground-breaking anatomy texts stretching back to Henry Gray's original Anatomy: descriptive and surgical of 1858. Only Churchill Livingstone publishes the real, definitive Gray's Anatomy. The thirty-eighth edition continues the tradition of innovation and of extending the frontiers of our knowledge and understanding of human anatomy. The systemic layout has been retained, giving the reader a complete overview of the workings of the human body. The organisation of the book has been revised, however, to reflect recent developments. The rapid increase in our understanding of immunology has prompted the creation of an entirely new section on the Haemal and Lymphoid systems, the Embryology and Nervous System sections have been heavily revised to take account of the rapidly changing nature of these subjects, Osteology and Arthrology have been united under the Musculoskeletal system, and the outmoded Splanchology section has been replaced by more meaningful Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Alimentary, Urinary, Reproductive and Endocrine sections. Finally, the Surface Anatomy section has been reinstated.
Every section has been written by specialist contributors under the control of expert Section Editors, providing this edition with an unprecedented weight of authority in the field of Human Anatomy. Since its inception, Gray's Anatomy has been noted for its clear, lucid topographical descriptions. The layout of this edition has been carefully designed, adding introductory system descriptions and highlighting material of clinical and scientific interest in boxes separate from the rest of the text. Special care has been taken to include the very latest cross-sectional imaging and extensive coverage of the anatomy encountered during endoscopic procedures.
