This second edition endeavours to keep the substance of the book the same, and to provide a book that is easily used and is of use to students. The purpose of the book is to help students who need to understand osteology and arthrology. The author has attempted to provide a logical framework. All the major bones and joints of the human body have been covered including a new section on teeth. The text has been written in note form and the diagrams have been made as clear and simple as possible so that they can be easily reproduced by students. The book can be used in several ways depending on the individual student: as part of a self-learning programme in conjunction with actual bones and supported by follow-up tutorials; as part of a revision programme on completion of a course of study; or as a reference book.
