Synopsis

The book commences with a brief account of the tissues met with during dissection. This is followed by sections containing a six-week schedule for the upper limb, a six-week schedule for the lower limb, a seven-week schedule for the abdomen and pelvis, a three-week schedule for thorax, and an eight-week schedule for the head and neck and two-week schedule for optional dissection/study on prosected specimens. Each section has an introduction which explains the disposition of structures on the basis of development and evolution followed by the weekly programs as detailed below:  <br/><br/>a. Dissection instructions are given serially and in short steps for easy comprehension by students  <br/><br/>b. For areas like special senses where dissection can be avoided, provision is made for the study on prosected specimens  <br/><br/>c. A Take Home Message highlighting the salient features of the regions dissected  <br/><br/>d. A List of Objectives to encourage the students to form discussion groups to ensure that they learn those aspects that will be required by them in their clinical years.
