The textbook provides topographic descriptions of organs and tissues in the regions of the human body strictly to the layer-by-layer principle and applies the terms from the latest offi cial international anatomic nomenclature (AN, Rome, 1999) both in English and in Latin. It also lays out the most wide-spread surgical operations. This edition includes cases and tests for self-assessment as well as over 400 fi gures, both original and modifi ed from other manuals.
The revised and improved textbook is designed for the third-fourth year Englishspeaking medical students.
