Gray’s anatomy 42nd edition pdf is now on its way to being 160 years old. The book of gray’s anatomy is a rarity in textbook publishing in having been in continuous publication on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, since 1858. One and a half centuries is an exceptionally long era for a textbook. Of course, the volume now is very different from the one Mr. Henry Gray first created with his colleague Dr. Henry Vandyke Carter, in mid-Victorian London. In this introductory essay, I shall explain the long history of Gray’s, from those Victorian days right up to today.

Gray’s anatomy 42nd edition pdf edition has been meticulously revised and updated throughout, reflecting the very latest understanding of applied anatomy from field leaders around the world. The book’s traditional lavish art program and clear text are further honed and enhanced, while major advances in imaging techniques and therefore the new insights they carry are fully captured in new state-of-the-art X-ray, CT, MR, and ultrasonic images.

In 1858, Drs. Henry Gray and Henry Vandyke Carter created a book for his or her surgical colleagues that established an everlasting standard among anatomical texts. After quite 150 years of continuous publication, Gray’s Anatomy remains the definitive, comprehensive reference on the topic, offering ready access to the knowledge you would like to make sure safe, effective practice.

The completely reconfigured accompanying eBook version is richly enhanced with additional content and media, covering all the body regions, cell biology, and embryogenesis. This unlocks an entirely new level of related information, interactivity, and understanding, keep with the spirit of innovation that has characterized Gray’s Anatomy since its inception.

1. Presents the foremost detailed and dependable coverage of anatomy available anywhere.
2. Regional organization collects all relevant material on each body area together in one place, making access to core information easier for clinical readers.
3. Anatomical information is matched with key clinical information where relevant.
4. Numerous clinical discussions emphasize considerations which will affect medical aid.
5. Each chapter has been edited by experts in their field, ensuring access to the very latest evidence-based information thereon topic.
6. More than 1,000 completely new photographs, including an in depth electronic collection of the newest X-ray, CT, MR, and histological images.
7. The downloadable Expert Consult eBook version included together with your purchase allows you to look all of the text, figures, references and videos from the book on a spread of devices.
8. Carefully selected electronic enhancements include additional text, tables, illustrations, labeled imaging and videos – also as 24 specially invited ‘Commentaries’ on new and emerging topics associated with anatomy.

Preface of Gray’s anatomy 42nd edition pdf

‘Anatomy is that the basis of medical discourse.’ – (Hippocrates, Delocis in homine2)

Looking through an almost complete set of the previous editions of Gray’s anatomy 42nd edition pdf, I am struck by the marked difference in size between the primary and fortieth editions. That progressive increase in girth has occurred at an equal rate with ground-breaking advances in basic science and clinical medicine over the past 155 years. Anatomy has become a far wider discipline than Henry Gray, Henry van Dyke Carter or any of their students could have envisaged. Fields like cell biology, genetics, neuroanatomy, embryology, and bioinformatics either had not emerged or been in their infancy in 1858. Techniques that today inform our view of the interior landscape of the body – like specialized sorts of light and electron microscopy; imaging modalities, including X-rays, resonance imaging, computerized tomography and ultrasonography; the utilization of ‘soft’ perfusion techniques and frozen-thawed, embalmed cadavers for dissection-based studies; and therefore the advances in information technology that enable endoscopic and robotic surgery and facilitate minimally invasive access to structures previously considered inaccessible – were all unknown.

As each development entered mainstream scientific or clinical use, the new perspectives on the body it afforded, whether at the submicroscopic or macroscopic level, filtered into the pages of Gray’s Anatomy: for instance, the introduction of X-ray plates (twenty-seventh edition, 1938) and electron micrographs (thirty-second edition, 1958).

In the Preface to the primary edition, Henry Gray wrote that ‘This Work is meant to furnish the scholar and Practitioner with an accurate view of the Anatomy of the physical body, and more especially the appliance of this science to Practical Surgery.’ We remain faithful to his intention. Appropriate knowledge of clinically relevant, evidence-based anatomy is an important element within the armamentarium of a practicing clinician; indeed, ‘If anything, the relevance of anatomy in surgery is more important now than at the other time within the past’ (Tubbs, in Preface Commentary, which accompanies this volume).

In my Preface of Gray’s Anatomy, I intimated that the book was quite literally in peril of breaking its binding if any longer pages were added. so as to avoid this unfortunate occurrence, the forty-first edition contains a big amount of fabric that’s exclusively electronic, within the sort of 77,000 words of additional text, 300 artworks and tables, 28 videos, and 24 specially invited commentaries on topics as diverse as microscopy and fluorescence microscopy; the neurovascular bundles of the prostate; stem cells in regenerative medicine; the anatomy of facial aging; and technical aspects and applications of diagnostic radiology. Keep with the expectation that anatomy should be evidence-based, the forty-first edition contains more references within the e-book than might be included within the thirty-ninth and fortieth printed editions.

Gleeson, Ariana Smith, Jonathan Spratt, Mark Stringer, Shane Tubbs, Alan Wein, and Caroline Wigley brought a wealth of scholarship and knowledge as anatomists, cell biologists, and clinicians to their roles as Section Editors. I thank them for his or her dedication and enthusiastic support, in selecting and interacting with the authors in their Sections and for meeting deadlines, despite the ever-increasing demands on their time from university and/or hospital managers. Pat Collins, Girish Jawaheer, Richard Tunstall, and Caroline Wigley worked closely with many authors to update the text and artworks for organogenesis, pediatric anatomy, evidence-based surface anatomy, and microstructure, respectively, across Sections 3 to 9. Jonathan Spratt acted as both a neighborhood Editor (thorax) and an indefatigable ‘go-to’ for sourcing images throughout the book; within the latter capacity, he has produced an outstanding collection of additional labeled images, available within the e-book (see Bonus imaging collection). Over 100 highly experienced anatomists and clinicians contributed text, often extensively revised from the previous edition, and/or artworks, original micrographs, or other images to individual chapters.
