Perfect for hands-on reference, Gray's Clinical Photographic Dissector of the Human Body, 3rd Edition, is a practical resource in the anatomy lab, on surgical rotations, during clerkship and residency, and beyond! This fully revised third edition uses a unique, step-by-step presentation of full-color cadaveric photographs to orient you more quickly in the anatomy lab, and points out the clinical relevance of each structure and every dissection. Each photograph depicts clearly labeled anatomical structures, including muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, and organs-making this one-of-a-kind resource ideal for preparing for laboratory sessions and as a useful reference during dissections. Contains nearly 1,100 full-color photographs for comparison to the cadavers you study, helping you become more proficient and confident in your understanding of the intricacies of the human body. Guides you through each dissection step by step, using a unique, real-world photographic presentation. Helps you easily relate anatomical structures to clinical conditions and procedures. Features new videos of human cadaveric dissection for each chapter. Depicts the pertinent anatomy for more than 30 common clinical procedures such as prosthetic hip replacements, intravenous catheters, lumbar puncture, and knee aspiration, including where to make the relevant incisions. Includes more high-quality schematic drawings throughout to aid in understanding Reflects the same level of accuracy and thoroughness that have made Gray’s Anatomy the defining reference in this complex area, thanks to an expert author team-all leading authorities in the world of clinical anatomy. Contains corresponding Gray’s illustrations to add clarity to key anatomical structures. An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text and figures, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.

About the Author
R. Shane Tubbs, MS, PA-C, PhD is a native of Birmingham, Alabama, USA and a is a clinical anatomist, author, editor, educator, and researcher. He is Professor of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Surgery, and Structural & Cellular Biology, Director of Surgical Anatomy at Tulane School of Medicine and Program Director of Anatomical Research in the Clinical Neuroscience Research Center at Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana and Department of Neurosurgery and Ochsner Neuroscience Institute Ochsner Health System, New Orleans, LA. He has multiple honorary professorships/faculty positions both in the US and abroad. Dr. Tubbs is President-elect of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA) and serves as its Journal's (Clinical Anatomy) Editor-in-Chief. Dr. Tubbs' research interests are centered around what has been termed "reverse translational anatomy research” where clinical/surgical problems are identified and solved/explained with anatomical studies. This investigative paradigm in anatomy has resulted in over 1,800 peer reviewed publications from his laboratory. Dr. Tubbs' laboratory has made novel discoveries in human anatomy and in 2018, he was listed as a "hyperprolific author” in the journal Nature. Dr. Tubbs sits on the editorial board of over 10 anatomical journals and over 30 clinical journals and has reviewed for over 150 various scientific journals. He has authored/edited over 50 books and over 80 book chapters primarily in anatomical and neurosurgical textbooks. Lastly, Dr. Tubbs is Chair of the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT) and oversees six working groups dedicated to this topic. Under his leadership, the second edition of Terminologia Anatomica was just published.
