Acknowledgements
Within individual figure captions, we have acknowledged all figures kindly loaned from other sources. However, we would particularly like to thank the following authors who have generously loaned so many figures from other books published by Elsevier:
Drake RL, Vogl AW, Mitchell A (eds), Gray's Anatomy for Students, 2nd ed. Elsevier, Churchill Livingstone. Copyright 2010.
Drake RL, Vogl AW, Mitchell A, Tibbitts R, Richardson P (eds), Gray's Atlas of Anatomy. Elsevier, Churchill Livingstone. Copyright 2008.
Waschke J, Paulsen F (eds), Sobotta Atlas of Human Anatomy, 15th ed. Elsevier, Urban & Fischer. Copyright 2013.
Acknowledgements for paediatric anatomy content in to Christopher Edward Bache, MBChB, FRCS (Tr & Orth), Birmingham, UK. The editors would like to thank all contributors and illustrators to the previous editions of Gray's Anatomy , including the fortieth and thirty-ninth editions. Much of the illustration in Gray's Anatomy has as its basis the work of illustrators and photographers who contributed towards earlier editions, their figures sometimes being retained almost unchanged, and sometimes being used as the foundation for figures that are new to this edition.
Eponyms
An annotated list of eponyms, edited by Harold Ellis, was published initially in the 39th edition. That list has now been updated by Susan Standring. An appropriate reference has been cited when it has not proved possible to source biographical information.
Achilles tendon : the calcaneal tendon.
Achilles, in Greek mythology, was slain by a wound in his vulnerable heel, inflicted by Paris in the Trojan War.
Adam's apple : a protrusion in the front of the throat that is part of the larynx.
According to the Old Testament, Adam was the first man.
Adamkiewicz, artery of : the largest anterior medullary feeder artery to the anterior spinal artery. It varies in level, arising from the lower (T911) posterior intercostal, the subcostal or, less frequently, the upper, lumbar (L12) arteries. Most often occurs on the left side.
Albert Adamkiewicz (18501921), Professor of Pathology, University of Cracow, Poland.
Addison's disease : a disease resulting from progressive destruction of the suprarenal gland with deficiency in the secretion of adrenocortical hormones.
Thomas Addison (17951860), English physician.
Alcock's canal : canalis pudendalis.
Benjamin Alcock (1801?), British anatomist who published an article in 1836 on iliac arteries.
Allen's test : a test of sufficiency of the blood supply to the hand by compression and release of the ulnar and radial arteries, and observation of the colour change of the hand.
EV Allen (19011961), Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Alport's syndrome : a rare hereditary condition characterized by progressive renal failure.
Arthur Cecil Alport (18801959), South African physician.
Alzheimer's disease : the most common form of dementia, characterized at postmortem by neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques.
Alois Alzheimer (18641915), neurologist, Breslau, Poland.
Ammon's horn: the hippocampus. Cornu Ammonis, or Ammon's horn, describes the whorled, chambered shells of a fossil genus of Cephalopods. It also refers to the ram-shaped horns on the head of the Egyptian god Amun.
