ANATOMY, DESCRIPTIVE AND SURGICAL. 



BY HENRY GRAY, F.R.S., 



LECTURER ON ANATOMY AT ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL. 



Illustrated by 363 large Woodcuts, from Original Drawings, by 



H. V. CARTER, M.D., late Demonstrator of Anatomy at St. George's Hospital. 



The Illustrations are chiefly from Dissections made jointly by the Author and 



Dr. Carter. 



THIS WORK is intended to furnish the Student and Practitioner with 

 an accurate view of the Anatomy of the Human Body, and more especially the 

 application of this science to Practical Surgery. 



One of the chief objects of the author has been to induce the student to apply his 

 anatomical knowledge to the more practical points in Surgery, by introducing, in 

 small type, under each of the following subdivisions, such observations as show the 

 necessity of an accurate knowledge of the part under examination. 



OSTEOLOGY. Much time and care have been devoted to this part of the work, the 

 basis of anatomical knowledge. It contains a concise description of the anatomy of 

 the bones, illustrated by Ninety-eight Woodcuts, accurately lettered, showing the 

 various markings and processes on each bone. The attachment of the muscles is 

 shown in dotted lines, copied in each case from recent dissections. The articulations 

 of each bone are shown on a new plan, and a method has been adopted by which the 

 hitherto complicated account of the development of the bones is made more simple. 



THE ARTICULATIONS. In this section, the various structures forming the joints are 

 described, a classification of the joints is given, and the anatomy of each carefully 

 described, illustrated by Thirty Woodcuts, all of which are taken from, or corrected 

 by, recent dissections. 



THE MUSCLES AND FASCIAE. In this section, the muscles are described in groups, 

 as in ordinary anatomical works. A series of illustrations, showing the lines of in- 

 cision necessary in the dissection of the muscles in each region are introduced, and the 

 muscles are shown in Fifty-two Woodcuts. The surgical anatomy of the muscles in 

 connexion with fractures, of the tendons or muscles divided in operations, is also 

 described and illustrated. 



THE ARTERIES. The course, relations, peculiarities, and surgical anatomy of each 

 artery are described in this section, together with the anatomy of the regions contain- 

 ing the arteries more especially involved in surgical operations. This part of the 

 work is illustrated by Twenty-seven Woodcuts. 



THE VEINS are described as in ordinary anatomical works, and illustrated by a 

 series of Woodcuts, showing those in each region. The veins of the spine are 

 described and illustrated from the well-known work of Breschet. 



THE LYMPHATICS are described, and figured in a series of illustrations copied from 

 the elaborate work of Mascagni. 



THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND ORGANS OP SENSE. A concise and accurate descrip- 

 tion of this important part of anatomy has been given, illustrated by Seventy-two 

 Woodcuts, showing the spinal cord and its membranes, the anatomy of the brain in a 

 series of sectional views, the origin, course, and distribution of the cranial, spinal, and 

 sympathetic nerves, and the anatomy of the organs of sense. 



THE VISCERA. A detailed description of this essential part of anatomy has been 

 given, illustrated by Fifty large accurately-lettered Woodcuts. 



REGIONAL ANATOMY. The anatomy of the perinasum, of the ischio-rectal region, 

 and of femoral and inguinal hernias, is described at the end of the work. The region 

 of the neck, the axilla, the bend of the elbow, Scarpa's triangle, and the popliteal 

 space in the section on the arteries. The laryngo-tracheal region, with the anatomy of 

 the trachea and larynx. The regions are illustrated by a large number of Woodcuts. 



MICROSCOPICAL ANATOMY. A brief account of the microscopical anatomy of 

 some of the tissues, and of the various organs, has also been introduced.
