This book has been written to help candidates sitting their
professional examination in anaesthesia in order that they may have
at their disposal the detailed anatomical knowledge necessary for
the day to day practice of anaesthesia. Unlike a textbook of
anatomy, which must cover all parts of the body with equally
exhaustive thoroughness, this book concentrates particularly on
areas of special relevance to anaesthesia and points out features
of practical importance to anaesthetic technique. The text is
divided into nine sections; the respiratory pathway, the heart, the
vertebral canal, the peripheral nerves; The Autonomic Nervous
System; The Cranial Nerves; The Orbit and its contents; The Anatomy
of Pain and Zones of Anaesthetic Interest.
The eighth edition has fully expanded and updated text; and
includes new and improved illustrations.
