A New System of Anatomy: A Dissector’s Guide and Atlas

For the second edition of this guide for medical students, the authors have simplified some of the dissections in line with modern anatomy curricula, rearranged the order of several dissections, simplified the heart dissection chapter, and added a new section on the brain. Latin names not in common use have been omitted in the text, although the index retains both English and Latin entries, thus serving as a dictionary for terms in the book. The principal aim of the book is to teach the essentials of anatomy thoroughly through practice by the student. It reflects modern anatomy courses and eliminates unnecessary detail.
