Most cadaver photographs and histology micrographs are new to this edition. These photographs are paired with the illustrations, offering students an enriched visual environment from which to learn.
- MP3 Downloads – Selected illustrations within the text, highlighted by an iPod icon, indicate that a MP3 file is available for download. These audio files provide narration and discussion about the illustration and content that it depicts.
