Preface
I have always found anatomy a tricky subject: it was my ‘last minute’ subject
when revising for exams. During final FRCA preparation, both I and Kiran Singh-
Kandola realised that drawing simplified diagrams helped us to label any
anatomy image shown to us, and so it might help others too.
This idea stayed an idea for a long time. I then started teaching some of the
diagrams to core trainees studying for the primary FRCA. They seemed
enthused to have an easy way to learn anatomy, but there seemed to be no
revision books which did this.
I developed the step-by-step approach to drawing the diagrams from the way I
taught people to draw them. In the last few years I have added many more
drawings/diagrams, with the aim of covering most of the syllabus for anatomy.
Many of the diagrams are done in a step-by-step ‘how to draw’ method. For
some topics, such as the eye and the spleen, rather than step-by-step drawing,
the salient points and general anatomy needed for the exams are covered.
The main idea of the book is to make anatomy simpler for you to learn. Lots of
tips are included, some about how to draw and some to help you answer some
common questions. The book should aid you in all primary and final FRCA exam
revision.

I would like to thank Kiran Singh-Kandola for being a great revision partner.
From the inception of this idea, we designed simple diagrams to help us
remember complicated anatomy. He was involved with the original drawings of
the trigeminal nerve, cervical plexus, parts of the eye, epidural space, caudal
anatomy, brachial plexus, cubital fossa, wrist, femoral canal and popliteal fossa.
