  The recent explosion of factual information in all aspects of medical science has overloaded teaching programmes. The Oxford Textbook of Functional Anatomy takes a fresh look at the teaching of bodily structure. The text is short, authoritative and lavishly illustrated, emphasizing basic principles and function, and can be used with or without dissection material. The book comprises concise general chapters on thinking about and experimentally examining tissues, on medical imaging, and on development. The limbs and spine are treated in systematic rather than purely regional terms. The text is divided into seminars, each requiring 2-3 hours' study. The reader must have understood the seminar text to be able to answer the questions posed at the end - making it easy to keep track of his or her progress. The aim of the book is to present anatomy knowledge in a form for rapid recall throughout a medical career.
