The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice

Susan Standring, MBE, PhD, DSC, FKC, Hon FAS, Hons FRCS Building on over 150 years of anatomical excellence

In 1858, Drs Henry Gray and Henry Vandyke Carter created a book for their surgical colleagues that established an enduring standard among anatomical texts. After more than 150 years of continuous publication, Gray's Anatomy remains the definitive, comprehensive reference on the subject, offering ready access to the information you need to ensure safe, effective practice.

This 41st edition has been meticulously revised and updated throughout, reflecting the very latest understanding of clinical anatomy from field leaders around the world. The book's traditional lavish art programme and clear text has been further honed and enhanced, while major advances in imaging techniques and the new insights they bring are fully captured in new state-of-the-art X-ray, CT, MR and ultrasonic images.

This edition is richly enhanced with additional electronic content and media, covering all the body regions, cell biology and embryogenesis. This unlocks a whole new level of related information, interactivity and understanding, in keeping with the spirit of innovation that has charaterized Gray's Anatomy since its inception. (Electronic content access instructions can be found on the inside front cover.)
