6Preface to the Third Edition
It is my pleasure to introduce the third edition of anand's Human Anatomy for Dental students. However, since the time of first edition there have been significant changes in the understanding and perception of need based teaching methods.
The present edition of textbook is written according to the modern day need based teaching. The textbook presents with six sections. The initial part of first section deals with general anatomy, a must for laying foundation of body structure, chapter 4 is “organization of body”, gives a comprehensive overview of composition of body, its various parts with essentials of regional anatomy of limbs, thorax and abdomen.
Subsequent chapters till chapter no. 17 deals with systemic anatomy, i.e. anatomy of various systems of body with their clinical significance.
The section of Head and Neck is extensively covered and has more illustrations. The third section is “histology”, it has been modified and includes systematically written text and photographs of slides of each organ. The student will be able to understand the text and its functional relevance. Diagrammatic pictures corresponding to each slide have been given alongside for the students so that they can easily draw them.
The final sections include genetics, essentials of embryology and clinical radiological anatomy. General embryology has been given in detail and explains the basis of various developmental diseases.
The additional feature of book is that after every section review viva questions have been given for quick revision. The questions are designed to stimulate the students to correlate the subject and its clinical relevance and to help them prepare for examinations.
I am humbled by the immense popularity of the previous two editions and have strived further to provide the best to the students in this edition. I am open to any constructive suggestions and would welcome feedback by students for the same.

Preface to the First Edition
This book is designed as complete and comprehensive textbook of human anatomy for first year of BDS. With the advances in technology and introduction of computer based teaching, it is essential to have a book which is need based. I have strived to provide a comprehensive, up to date, readable and informative textbook.
Adequate text has been included in a clear and concise language with the aim to help students in preparing for examinations. General anatomy, which is the foundation of understanding the subject is included in the beginning.
To simplify learning extensive illustrations have been included in the book
A sound knowledge of anatomy is the basis of further clinical studies. I have provided applied anatomy in the form of highlighted boxes at the end of each topic. This will, I hope make it more interesting and easier to understand. A special feature of the book is inclusion of histology, embryology, osteology and neurology along with all sections of gross anatomy.
Though this book is essentially for undergraduate students is can be useful for various postgraduate entrance examinations and as a basic knowledge guide for postgraduate students.
It gives me extreme pleasure to acknowledge the support, assistance and cooperation rendered by all those who were closely involved in the making of this book. I hope the students will find the contents useful and enjoy reading this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it for them.
