Exam-Oriented Practical Anatomy
A Student's Manual

This manual is a practical guide to anatomy for undergraduate medical students.

Divided into four sections, the book begins with an introduction to incisions, explaining dissection anatomy of upper and lower limbs, the abdomen, and head and neck.

The second section provides in depth discussion on surface anatomy, and section three describes the histology of all systems in the body, outlining standard staining procedures and microscopy illustrated by relevant slides.

The final section covers the radiological anatomy of each section of the body, enhanced by X-Ray images. 

Each section is presented in a systematic approach and includes questions and answers that candidates may encounter in examinations.
