Foreword
I am very happy to know that the students of Malabar Medical College,
Calicut, Kerala, India, are coming out with a handbook on anatomy.
G
When they approached me with a different idea, Asterion—The Practical
Handbook of Anatomy, I readily welcomed that idea. The editors have
R
seen that the book is brief and student-friendly. This handbook covering
Histology, Osteology, Embryology, Radiology and Surface Marking will
make a quick reference for the examination going students. It will also Vhelp
them save a lot of time to concentrate on gross and applied anatomy.
I am using this opportunity to congratulate Harishanker JS, Adjai Sasi and Avinash N of 2nd
batch, all staff members of Department of Anatomy and all those students of Malabar Medical
e
College, Calicut, Kerala, India, who helped them to see that the book is through. I wish all the
success for this venture. t

Preface to the Second Edition
It gives us immense pleasure to present before you once again the revised second edition
of Asterion. The first handout was indeed a success, which made many of the 1st MB’s to
G
walk through their practicals with a light heart. The response of Asterion was the biggest
encouragement for the upcoming of its modified version.
R
Many more modifications have been brought into this book. We have included the finer
most images. Every chapter of anatomy has been incorporated with fine details and its clinical
aspects dealt in detail. The first edition was made with a solo motto oVf getting every student
through the practical. But now the focus of Asterion is not just cracking the examinations, but
it will help you get into the subject. All the most probable questiodns have been included in the
chapter Red Alert so that you do not even miss the toughest of the questions.
e
Altogether Asterion is a definite solution for every examination preparing student which
can surely promise them an upper hand in their examintation.
