โฆ Synopsis
For the second edition, the text and illustrations have been reorganized and many of the diagrams have been redrawn or replaced. New sections on the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and urogenital systems, and on the eye and the ear have been added, as well as new text on functional activities, palpation and applied anatomy. In addition, the section covering the head, neck and trunk has been completely reorganized. Nevertheless, the initial aim of the text has been retained so that it remains a textbook essentially concerned with the musculoskeletal system and its application to human movement
