Preface
Long ago I thought of a mission—Human Anatomy Made Simple. Then it was a dream, now realizing that dream into a concrete reality is a profound matter of satisfaction and joy.
As Steve Maraboli mentioned: ‘The best way to succeed is to have a specific Intent, a clear Vision, a plan of Action, and the ability to maintain Clarity.’
Anatomy is an integral component of PG Entrance exams at multiple levels. It is not an important individual subject in itself, but, in terms of conceptual and clinical correlates, touches and fetches improved scoring in almost all the major and minor subjects, once mastered well.
The present book is a simplistic quintessential approach to master basic and conceptual Anatomy and its clinical application. Maximum possible content has been covered under various sub-sections of Anatomy, so that the student does not need to look into a plethora of books—in a sense it is ‘all in one approach’. It is written in a simple, lucid language with neatly labelled line diagrams, along with tables and flowcharts to improve memorization and recall of the vast content.
The latest edition of Gray's Anatomy has an abundance of updated information, which is not in accordance with the traditional/conventional teaching. Such information has been included in the present book, but its usage in the exams is not yet advisable, and depends upon the discretion of the teacher and the students.
Controversies arise when different authors follow different standard textbooks, for example, a particular question on pemphigus vulgaris may be asked by Anatomy department, but may also interest, Pathology, Dermatology and Medicine departments equally. Such questions have been dealt with profound and relentless research, referring to respective department standard textbooks and Journals to bring you the most appropriate answer possible.
Dear students, I was a medical student, and will remain so throughout my life. We all have been trained to work hard in the best interest of our patients and peers. I respect and honour your tenacity in keeping the fire and zeal alive in your heart and mind, and remain highly motivated despite tough scenarios in life keep presenting in front of you, every possible moment.

  1. Quick revision of entire Anatomy subsections, along with authentic questions and answers with explanations.
  2. Additional content and MCQs available on www.accesspgmee.com & App
  3. Chapter grading has been done to ensure maximum focus on important chapters.

Wishing a great success to all the students, in all arenas of life !
