The Oxford Textbook of Functional Anatomy is a book designed to meet the needs of today's medical students, who must gain a sound working knowledge of the structural basis of the body function in a much shorter time than the students of the past. The modern student must also be able to relate this understanding to modern clinical imaging techniques. Specialized training in detailed anatomy is now recognized as a graduate course and is also taken by interns in surgery and radiology. Anatomy must be taught in such a way that it can be rapidly recalled during clinical training and can provide a basis for future study. The revised edition of this textbook reflects all the changing needs of the student. Changes from the previous edition include: an updated chapter on medical imaging to keep pace with the technology of magnetic resonance; expanded sections on the musculoskeletal system and living anatomy; and a brand new chapter on stance and locomotion. This book encourages the student to observe this subject precisely and to record the structure and the macroscopic functions of the living body. The majority of observations are made with the eye or the hand, complemented by modern imaging techniques, the study of prosections, and a limited amount of dissection.

Despite changes in the undergraduate medical curriculum, a sound understanding of how the body is built and functions remains fundamental to all aspects of medicine, not least the interpretation of the products of the new imaging systems. Most diagnoses have to be arrived at from an examination of the intact living body and so an understanding of the functional anatomy of the living body and how it should be examined, remains a critical skill for practitioners. The second edition of the Oxford Textbook of Functional Anatomy: Musculoskeletal System considers changes in the medical curriculum and pays careful attention to whether or not some item of information is likely to be helpful either in aiding the understanding of the principles of body structure or in everyday clinical practice. As a result, all guidance on dissection and the origins and insertions of individual muscles, on which students in the past have spent a disproportionate amount of time, have been largely removed from the text and are indicated instead of the relevant illustrations. Emphasis on the anatomy of the living subject has been increased, and to underline the increasing importance of non-invasive imaging, there are more computerized tomograms and magnetic resonance imaging. Many of these have been merged with the text in addition to separate subsections which present them in ordered sequence.
