Human Anatomy uses a functional anatomy theme to present human anatomy as a well-illustrated story with the right amount of detail that you can understand. Analogies and comparative descriptions make anatomical structures memorable and understandable, and explain how the shape and composition of structures allow them to perform their functions.

The 9th Edition features new exercises and questions to help you learn and use anatomical language and interpret real-world medical images. Selected illustrated tables are enhanced as part of the cohesive and logical story of human anatomy.
