Widely acclaimed as a standard textbook in view of its simple language, comprehensive coverage, lucid presentation and neatly-drawn line diagrams, BD Chaurasia's Human Anatomy remains the most preferred textbook in India and abroad. This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to make it extremely informative and much more student-friendly.

The ninth edition now features diagrams adapted from the first edition, originally prepared by Dr BD Chaurasia, which have been suitably redrawn, modified and colored appropriately. Many text chapters have citations to videos of osteology and soft parts which are accessible through CBSiCentral App. Clinically oriented FAQs and MCQs, and ECE cases have been included to make the volumes absolutely clinical in nature.
