Why this book?
There is no doubt that the body is the true mirror through which one can look at the hidden secrets of man because it reflects the true nature of man’s origin on the one hand, the stages of his development on the other hand, and the nearness of his demise on the third hand.
The external beauty of the body on the one hand, and the innate longing within us to know what is inside this body on the other hand, have - and still continue to this day - aroused human interest and curiosity since the beginning of history, in addition to the intense admiration and amazement that overwhelms us when we know how our body function.
According to history, man invented science to study the subtleties and secrets of the human body, which is the science of anatomy. These pages also reveal how this science attempted to know the internal mechanisms of the body’s functioning. In our current era, we see that the art of medicine and the devices that contribute to healing people would not have been in this advanced form without the contributions of the pioneers of anatomy, and it is possible to say that the first foundations of anatomy began in the fifth century BC.
Since this book deals with basic topics and texts in anatomy intended for health colleges, these are topics that may not contain information in detail but are presented in a simplified and concise manner. The authors were keen to provide the book with a large number of illustrative forms to explain the texts contained, relying on a large number of references with an overview of the terms mentioned in Arabic and English.
With this important and interesting subject, the book is an indispensable read, not only for those concerned with medical affairs in the Kingdom but also for readers in general who are concerned with health sciences in general.
