Human Anatomy Essentials: A Guide to Integrated Learning
暫譯: 人體解剖學要素：整合學習指南

Anatomy is the foundational subject in the medical curriculum. A deep understanding of anatomical concepts during the pre-clinical years is essential to ensure effective future clinical practice. Over the years, anatomy was taught using various approaches, including cadaveric dissection, prosection and plastinated specimens and illustrations. For many years, hand-drawn illustrations on black board using chalks were widely used by anatomists in the classroom. This approach formed the basis to conceptualise and edit the current book. Emeritus Prof. Ling, in his five decades of anatomy teaching, has collected his hand-drawn anatomical illustrations which provide integrated concepts of gross anatomy, histology (including both light and electron microscopy images), some aspects of developmental biology, and relevant neuroanatomical context. These illustrations have been digitalised in this book in order to share this rare knowledge of illustrations with future generation of medical students.To reinforce learning, this textbook includes quizzes designed to assess comprehension, with answers provided in the appendix for self-paced review. Integrated illustrations featuring anatomical structures and neurofunctional circuits enhance conceptual clarity and help simplify complex neuronal information.Overall, this textbook offers a cohesive blend of gross anatomy, histology, some aspects of developmental biology, and relevant neuroanatomical context. The colourful digital illustrations help students to build a strong foundation in gross anatomy relevant to clinical practice. This book also includes clinical scenarios and assessment component to challenge student understanding and self-evaluation of their knowledge.
