This is a system-based textbook which means that it deals with anatomy system-by-system (eg cardiovascular system, central nervous system). As well as the subject index, the textbook contains a regional index to make it relevant also to students following regional anatomy courses. The text is highly cross-referenced, illustrated with specially commissioned illustrations, and in full-colour.
