Grant's Dissector

Grant's Dissector, 18th Edition, provides structured, step-by-step guidance for human cadaver dissection in medical and healthcare practice education. Authored by Alan J. Detton and published by Wolters Kluwer Health, this 400-page textbook establishes direct procedural methods for investigating physical anatomy in laboratory settings. It guides medical students and healthcare practice students through the physical examination of human body structures.

The text organizes cadaveric examination through a consistent three-part framework within every chapter. Each section begins with a Dissection Overview that details upcoming procedural steps alongside pertinent surface anatomy and relevant osteology. Following this preparation, Dissection Instructions supply numbered, sequential steps that clarify each phase of procedural execution.

To complete each anatomical investigation, Dissection Follow-up sections encourage reflection and synthesis of the results obtained during laboratory work. This systematic sequence helps healthcare students connect surface landmarks with internal physical structures throughout their course of study.
