In the past, anatomy has been considered a rather static discipline, not requiring frequent revisions of textbooks. The rapid advance of electronmicroscopy, however, has altered this concept completely. Although the chief difference between the present edition and the fifth, published in 1961, is the inclusion of electron micrographs, there have been a number of alterations and additions to conform with modern thinking. The basic format of the previous edition has been retained. This book is recommended without reservation for students, residents, and those seeking an anatomical source book.
