The accompanying eBook version is richly enhanced with additional content and media covering all the body regions cell biology development and embryogenesis - and now includes two new systems-orientated chapters. This combines to unlock a whole new level of related information and interactivity in keeping with the spirit of innovation that has characterised Gray's Anatomy since its inception."--Publisher's website.… (more)
