The teaching of human anatomy represents one of the fundamental pillars of medical education. However, when approached in isolation, without a clear connection to clinical practice, there is a risk of turning anatomical study into mere memorization of structures, devoid of real meaning for the student's future professional life.The structure of the book is designed to guide the reader from anatomical foundations to their clinical application, thereby fostering analytical thinking that allows the human body to be understood not merely as a sum of parts, but as an integrated functional system. Each chapter includes carefully selected and developed clinical cases in which surface anatomy and its correlation with organs and tissues is key to their comprehension. Human Anatomy Through Clinical Cases is intended for instructors and students of Anatomy to help them develop the skills needed to relate descriptive anatomical foundations to clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of anatomy for physical examination, the interpretation of imaging studies, and, ultimately, the formulation of accurate diagnoses.
