DR's Textbook of Anatomy Volume One

Volume One brings together the language of anatomy, the principles of human development and the structural organisation of the upper limb. It is designed to help medical students build the foundations needed for regional study, practical anatomy and clinical correlation.

The subject scope includes general anatomy, general embryology, genetics and the upper limb. Readers can connect skeletal organisation, muscles, joints, peripheral nerves and blood vessels with movement, examination and applied anatomy. Developmental and genetic concepts provide a foundation for understanding normal variation and congenital abnormalities.

Intended readers: Undergraduate medical students and teachers of introductory
