CBME implies the ability of a medical graduate to fulfill the emerging needs of the society in the health sphere.
Anatomy being a basic science and vast subject, it is my sincere endeavour to comprehend and present the subject in an easy and memorable way.
In this techno-savvy era, there has been explosion of sophisticated imaging techniques like endoscopy, laparoscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and PET scan for three dimensional visualization of Anatomy in living subjects. Presentation or reading material in this book is revolutionized with more reliance on clinical aspects to further consolidate and enhance the learning experience.
The areas covered in this book aim to impart basic knowledge compiled with the objectives of the CBME. Efforts have been made by adopting various methods, to saliently impress upon the students to gain reproducible knowledge when they go in the academic field.
CBME being the globally accepted curriculum, this work offers the studentsto be linked with the present developments in the medical area and a permanent background while advancing in their career.
I am a believer of the fact that no work is perfect and it necessitates revision from time to time. It will be my privilege to incorporate the changes suggested by the students and the readers whenever required.

Key Features:

• The content is designed in such a way that it will facilitate interest as well as further
understanding of the subject.
• The matter is specifically put forth in the form of concise and brief information which will
help students in the academic journey to become globally competent.
• It includes high yield topics of Anatomy with an ideal to the point answers which will
prove to be categorical format for the students.
• An attempt has been made to reinforce the core Anatomy by appreciation of it's clinical
relevance thereby providing students holistic view of the information.
• Key concepts of the subject are well defined in the book and the language used is simple
and lucid.
• The reading material will help students to remove the concept of learning any subject
in isolation and in fragments. Instead it will keep students motivated as the information
presented in this book forms a link between foundation subject and applied sciences.
• It consists of easy and drawable diagrams to make the content easy to understand and
recall during the examination
