Overview
Foundational anatomy teaches how body parts relate in space and how those relationships enable movement and function. Volume 1 systematically covers bones, joints, muscles, fascial planes, and surface landmarks with clear dissections and schematic diagrams. Clinical correlates highlight the palpable landmarks and imaging cues most useful to students and clinicians. Each chapter includes concise summaries and review questions to reinforce learning and exam readiness. Practical tips on dissection technique and specimen preservation help translate text to hands-on skill. A focused glossary supports rapid review of essential terms.
