-- TERMINOLOGIA ANATOMICA --This edition uses the Terminologia Anatomica for the Gross Anatomy and Neuroanatomy as sanctioned by the Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology. This feature is not found in the competition.
--Art Program includes approximately 1500 color illustrations, photographs, and tables. The art program is used to expand and clarify the meanings of the dictionary terms; liberal use of four color throughout. The illustrations, photographs, and tables were chosen, with the help of our customers and consultants, to help the reader develop a better understanding of the terms-over 400 more images than the competition.
--Easy-to-find Subentries - each subentry is on a new line for easier readability.
--Cross-References in Blue - Some entries have no definition. They refer the user to a preferred synonym. These cross-references are in blue to help the reader quickly find the definition.
