内容简介
Some simplified tables and a large number of color figures are used in this textbook to help the students to understand better the various structures of the human body. The terms of relatively important or major structures are printed with characters in bold, and the origins and meanings of some anatomical terms are also mentioned to facilitate comprehension. Cytological and histological aspects are also included throughout the text but limited to certain specific body parts, mainly to help the students to better understand the disease processes. As structure and function are closely related and complementary to each other, emphasis is also given to human body function where appropriate. References to anatomy literature are listed so that students can acquire a deeper knowledge of an area of interest, should they so desire. Our ultimate goal is to help students to understand how human body works and how to utilize the knowledge of anatomy for improving as well as maintaining health.
