Gray's Anatomy for Students is a new and wholly original textbook of anatomy for medical and health professional students. Designed to be suitable for any type of curriculum, Gray's Anatomy for Students presents the essentials of clinical anatomy in a way that furthers complete understanding and firmly relates the study of anatomy to the clinical practice of medicine. Organized by region, the book provides, in each chapter, a conceptual overview that describes the function of structures within that region. The regional anatomy is described with frequent discussion of clinical relevance and illustrated with many imaging studies and an outstanding art program. Each chapter also contains a unique section on Surface Anatomy with outstanding photographs overlaid with anatomic diagrams - the focus of which is to relate anatomy to the physical examination of patients and the performance of medical procedures which require a knowledge of anatomy. Clinical Cases are used throughout to illustrate the relevance of anatomy to the practice of clinical medicine. Features More than 1,000 innovative original illustrations capture anatomical features with unrivalled clarity. Consistent use of color makes body structures easy to locate and remember from one illustration to another. Over 300 photographs and radiological images depict surface anatomy and common clinical applications of anatomic knowledge. A regional organization features separate units on the back, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum, lower limb, upper limb, and head and neck. Conceptual overviews summarize each body region's component parts, their functions, and their relationship to other bodily organs. Clinical cases underscore the real-life relevance of the material.

Tailored for students, this edition of the classic Gray's (which is cited in Brandon Hill) contains 1,000 of the original color illustrations along with 300 photographs and radiological images. The student edition is one-third shorter than the edition for clinicians (ISBN 0-443-06676-0). Organization is by region, beginning with the back because it is often the initial area dissected by students and is somewhat less complicated than the regions that follow: thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum, lower limb, upper limb, and head and neck. Access to the online version is included, allowing for advanced searches and interaction with the images and exercises.
