A Doody’s Core Title for 2022! 

The Big Picture: Gross Anatomy, Second Edition is the perfect bridge between reviews and textbooks.

The book’s user-friendly presentation consists of text on the left-hand page and beautiful full-color illustrations on the right-hand page. In this way, you get a “big picture” of anatomy principles, delivered one concept at a time – making them easier to understand and remember. 

Zero-in on what you really need to know to ace the course and board exams with:

  • NEW! Access to high-quality videos on each major topic -- students can view them before reading the text or attending lectures
  • Key structures highlighted in bold when they are first mentioned
  • Bullets and numbers used to break down important concepts
  • More than 400 full-color figures illustrate essential anatomy
  • High-yield clinically relevant concepts indicated by a special icon
  • Study questions and answers following each section
  • A final exam at the end of the book
