Synopsis

Excerpt from Manual of Anatomy, Vol. 1: Systematic and Practical, Including Embryology

IN the preparation of this work the object of the author has been to combine a manual of practical anatomy with a text-book of Systematic anatomy, and so furnish students With a complete treatise on the subject written entirely by himself.

The section on osteology is treated of in an exhaustive manner, and an account of the ossification of each bone follows its description.

The joints are described in the order in which they are met with in the course of dissection. Each of the sections of the upper limb, lower limb, abdomen, thorax, and head and neck, has appended to it a complete guide to its dissection, giving full information as to the manner in which the dissections should be carried out, and detailing the structures which should be exposed.

The minute anatomy of the viscera and organs is fully described and illustrated by drawings from microscopical preparations in the possession of the author.

Special sections are devoted to the nervous system, the eye, the ear, and the nose, and these are also fully illustrated.

The subject of embryology is dealt with by appending to the description of each viscus and organ a concise account of its develop ment, in the hope that this method may enlist the attention of students in this very important subject.

Product Description

Excerpt from Manual of Anatomy, Vol. 1: Systematic and Practical, Including Embryology Every section of this manual has been carefully and completely revised. Some have been partially, and many, such as the Nervous System and its Development, have been entirely rewritten. It has still been considered advisable to retain the old anatomical nomenclature until such time as a standard nomenclature has been fixed and generally accepted. The Appendix, however, containing a large number of the terms of the Basle nomenclature, has been retained for those who wish to refer to them. The subject of Embryology is still partially dealt with by appending to the description of each organ a concise account of its development. Over and above this an entirely new and complete chapter, dealing with General Embryology, has been added, with the view of elucidating many points in the various concise developments. This chapter has been specially and skilfully illustrated. The author has to acknowledge with deep gratitude the valuable assistance which he has so willingly received from his demonstrator, Dr. Peter Thomson, M.A., B.Sc., in preparing this edition for the press. He has also to thank the publishers for the great labour which they have kindly undertaken in various directions, and for the great care which they have bestowed upon the publication of this edition. Many new figures have been added, all of which have been executed by the well-known anatomical artist, Mr. James T. Murray, Edinburgh, who has done his work with rare excellence, and whom the author desires to thank most cordially. He also begs to thank all those authors who have kindly and generously granted permission to use their figures.
