Edition I n July 1996, I had gone to the office of CBS Publishers and Distributors to hand over the manuscript of the third edition of our Textbook of Histology, when Mr SK Jain, Managing Director of CBS, requested me to shoulder the responsibility of editing the three volumes of their extremely popular book BD Chaurasia's Human Anatomy, the third edition of which was earlier edited by respected Prof Inderbir Singh This was a 'God given gift' which I accepted with great gratitude This had also been the wishful thinking of my son, now a nephrologist in the US The three volumes of the fourth edition of this book are extremely student-friendly All out efforts have been made to bring them closer to their hearts through serious and subtle efforts Various ways were thought of, which I discussed with my colleagues and students, and have been incorporated in these volumes One significant method suggested was to add 'practical skills' so that these volumes encompass theoretical, practical and clinical aspects of various parts of human body in a functional manner The paragraphs describing human dissection, printed with blue background, provide necessary instructions for dissection These entail identifying structures deeper to skin which need to be cut and separated to visualise the anatomic details of various structures Dissection means patiently clearing off the fat and fasciae around nerves, blood vessels, muscles, viscera, etc so that their course, branches and relations are appreciated This provides the photogenic memory for the 'doctor-in-making' First year of MBBS course is the only time in life when one can dissect at ease, although it is too early a period to appreciate its value Good surgeons always refresh their anatomical knowledge before they go to the operation theatre Essential part of the text and some diagrams from the first edition have been incorporated glorifying the real author and artist in BD Chaurasia A number of diagrams on ossification, surface marking, muscle testing, in addition to radiographs, have been added The beauty of most of the four-colour figures lies in easy reproducibility in numerous tests and examinations which the reader can master after a few practice sessions only This makes them user-friendly volumes Figures are appreciated by the underutilised right half of the cerebral cortex, leaving the dominant left half for other jobs in about 98% of right-handed individuals At the beginning of each chapter, a few introductory sentences have been added to highlight the importance of the topic covered A brief account of the related histology and development is put forth so that the given topic is covered in all respects The entire clinical anatomy has been put with the respective topic, highlighting its importance The volumes thus are concise, comprehensive and clinically-oriented Various components of upper and lower limbs have been described in a tabular form to revise and appreciate their "diversity in similarity" At the end of each section, an appendix has been added wherein the segregated course of the nerves has been aggregated, providing an overview of their entire course These appendices also contain some clinicoanatomical problems and multiple choice questions to test the knowledge and skills acquired Prayers, patience and perseverance for almost years have brought out this new edition aimed at providing a holistic view of the amazing structures which constitute the human anatomy There are bound to be some errors in these volumes Suggestions and comments for correction and improvement shall be most welcome: These may please be sent to me through e-mail at cbspubs@de!3 vsnl net, in KRISHNA GARG Excerptsfrom Preface tothe First Edition T he necessity of having a simple, systematized and complete book on anatomy has long been felt The urgency for such a book has become all the more acute due to the shorter time now available for teaching anatomy, and also to the falling standards of English language in the majority of our students in India The national symposium on "Anatomy in Medical Education" held at Delhi in 1978 was a call to change the existing system of teaching the unnecessary minute details to the undergraduate students This attempt has been made with an object to meet the requirements of a common medical student The text has been arranged in small classified parts to make it easier for the students to remember and recall it at will It is adequately illustrated with simple line diagrams which can be reproduced without any difficulty, and which also help in understanding and memorizing the anatomical facts that appear to defy memory of a common student The monotony of describing the individual muscles separately, one after the other, has been minimised by writing them out in tabular form, which makes the subject interesting for a lasting memory The relevant radiological and surface anatomy have been treated in separate chapters A sincere attempt has been made to deal, wherever required, the clinical applications of the subject The entire approach is such as to attract and inspire the students for a deeper dive in the subject of anatomy Gwalior February, 1981 The book has been intentionally split in three parts for convenience of handling This also makes a provision for those who cannot afford to have the whole book at a time it is quite possible that there are errors of omisSion and commission in this mostly single handed attempt I would be grateful to the readers for their suggestions to improve the book from all angles, I am very grateful to my teachers and the authors of numerous publications, whose knowledge has been freely utilised in the preparation of this book I am equally grateful to my professor and colleagues for their encouragement and valuable help My special thanks are due to my students who made me feel their difficulties, which was a great incentive for writing this book I have derived maximum inspiration from Prof Inderbir Singh (Rohtak), and learned the decency of work from Shri SC Gupta (Jiwaji University, Gwalior) i am deeply indebted to Shri KM Singhal (National Book House, Gwalior) and Mr SK Jain (CBS Publishers and Distributors, Delhi), who have taken unusual pains to get the book printed in its present form For giving it the desired get-up, Mr VK Jain and

affection the domestic assistance of Munne Miyan and the untiring company of my Rani, particularly during the odd hours of this work BDCHAURASIA Acknowledgements am grateful to Almighty for giving me the Iforopportunity to edit these three volumes, and further sustaining the interest which many a times did oscillate When I met Mr YN Arjuna, Publishing Director in CBS, in May 2003, light was seen at the end of the tunnel and it was felt that the work on the volumes could begin with definite schedule He took great interest in going through the manuscript, correcting, modifying and improving wherever necessary He inducted me to write an introductory paragraph, brief outlines of embryology and histology to make it a concise and complete textbook Having retired from Lady Hardinge Medical College within a fortnight of getting this assignment and having joined Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad, my colleagues there really helped me I am obliged to Prof Varsha Katira, Prof.Vishram Singh, Dr Poonam Kharb, Dr Tripta Bhagat (MS Surgery), Dr Nisha Kaul and Ms Jaya They even did dissection with the steps written for the new edition and modified the text wherever necessary From 2000-03, while working at Subharti Medical College, Meerut, the editing of the text continued DrSatyam Khare, Associate Professor, suggested me to write the full course of nerves, ganglia, multiple choice questions, etc with a view to revise the important topics quickly So, appendices have come up at the end of each section I am grateful to Prof AKAsthana, Dr AKGarg and Dr Archana Sharma for helping me
