This book attempts to help the student cope with the huge amount of factual knowledge required in anatomy. It is written in an informal and user-friendly style, stressing important features and omitting "small print." The author has many years of experience as an examiner and stresses the most common errors in answering examination questions.

The presentation is highly visual, with useful mnemonics and clear line drawings that the student can reproduce without great difficulty.

The popular Lecture Notes volume has been completely revised and updated with replacement or revision of many of the illustrations. The coverage of applied anatomy and embryology has been expanded for the benefit of FRCS candidates.
