eISBN 978-1-62623-523-6 Important note: Medicine is an ever-changing science undergoing continual development. Research and clinical experience are continually expanding our knowledge, in particular our knowledge of proper treatment and drug therapy. Insofar as this book mentions any dosage or application, readers may rest assured that the authors, editors, and publishers have made every effort to ensure that such references are in accordance with the state of knowledge at the time of production of the book. Nevertheless, this does not involve, imply, or express any guarantee or responsibility on the part of the publishers in respect to any dosage instructions and forms of applications stated in the book. Every user is requested to examine carefully the manufacturers leaflets accompanying each drug and to check, if necessary in consultation with a physician or specialist, whether the dosage schedules mentioned therein or the contraindications stated by the manufacturers differ from the statements made in the present book. Such examination is particularly important with drugs that are either rarely used or have been newly released on the market.
Every dosage schedule or every form of application used is entirely at the user's own risk and responsibility. The authors and publishers request every user to report to the publishers any discrepancies or inaccuracies noticed. If errors in this work are found after publication, errata will be posted at www.thieme.com on the product description page.

Dedication
We dedicate this third edition of the
Atlas of Anatomy to the memory of Lawrence (Larry) McIvor Ross, 19382015. Larry was an outstanding anatomist and cherished mentor and colleague. He started his academic career in 1968 as a faculty member in the Department of Anatomy at UTMB Galveston. After six years he accepted an appointment in the Department of Anatomy at Michigan State University (MSU) and remained there until he retired in 2000.
Larry was passionate about making a difference in the lives of his students, however, and continued to teach as a visiting professor at St. George's University on Grenada in the West Indies for nine years and as an adjunct professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy at the University of Texas Medical School Houston until 2014. Fellow anatomists admired his dedication as a member of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists where he served the association in every position on the Executive Council. In 2015 he was honored for his service to the association with the R. Benton Adkins Jr. Distinguished Service Award.
As an academician, Larry was a true multidisciplinary anatomist, teaching histology, neuroanatomy, gross anatomy, and embryology to thousands of medical and graduate students as well as numerous non-medical groups. As an author, he will be remembered best for his work with Thieme Publishers. From 2005 to 2007 he co-edited the English translation of all three volumes of Prometheus: Atlas of Anatomy. Following the critical success of the three-volume atlas in English- speaking countries, he was instrumental in helping Thieme create the concept for the single-volume Atlas of Anatomy. This atlas, now in its third edition, is highly acclaimed in its own right and is distributed worldwide and translated in over 14 languages. As his co-authors, we are most grateful to Larry for his mentorship. He was responsible for bringing us onto the project and into the world of medical publications.
