Anatomy of the Human Body, Part 3 (Gray's Anatomy)

Henry Gray's classic anatomy textbook was first published in 1858 and has been in continuous publication ever since, revised and expanded through many successive editions. This recording is of the public-domain 1918 US edition (some information may be outdated). The illustrations can be found in the online text at bartleby.com. For the Librivox recording, we have divided the book into five parts. Part 3 includes Angiology, Arteries, Veins, and the Lymphatic System. (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden)
