Following in the footsteps of the first edition, which received a warm reception, the Anatomy, Second Edition by Anne M. Gilroy includes significant additions, such as the illustrative representation of anatomical structures and the illustration of clinical correlations.

The introductory chapter lays the foundation with basic concepts and an extensive reference to the circulatory and nervous systems. Each of the richly illustrated sections that refer to separate areas of the body includes a concise description, comprehensive information about bones, muscles, vessels, and nerves, essential elements regarding imaging control, and review questions with complete answers and explanations.

• Over 200 new images and 650 in total illustrate normal and pathological anatomy, as well as various medical procedures.
• More than 120 tables facilitate learning and include unique tables referencing the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of muscles.
• Boxes titled "Clinical Correlation" provide detailed information regarding the anatomical basis of various clinical problems.
• Boxes titled "Developmental Correlation" develop important concepts related to embryological development and the life cycle, in relation to anatomical structures.

• The new sections titled "Key Imaging Concepts" include the clinical applications of imaging methods for specific anatomical areas.
