Important note:
Medicine is an ever-changing
science undergoing continual development. Re-
search and clinical experience are continually
expanding our knowledge, in particular our
knowledge of proper treatment and drug ther-
apy. 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 neces-
sary in consultation with a physician or special-
ist, 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 par-
ticularly 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 pub-
lishers request every user to report to the pub-
lishers any discrepancies or inaccuracies no-
ticed.
Some of the product names, patents, and regis-
tered designs referred to in this book are in fact
registered trademarks or proprietary names
even though specific reference to this fact is not
always made in the text. Therefore, the appear-
ance of a name without designation as pro-
prietary is not to be construed as a representa-
tion by the publisher that it is in the public
domain.

Preface to the First English Edition
The first German edition of this book, which was later lovingly known as
“The Faller,”
published in 1966. At this time nobody could ever have
imagined that
“The Human Body,”
written by Swiss anatomist Adolf Fal-
ler, would remain uniquely successful for almost 40 years. Thirteen Ger-
man editions and several editions in other languages speak for them-
selves. Fifteen years after Faller’s death, the thoroughly and extensively
revised 13th German edition published. The current English edition is
based upon this German edition.
The new version contains almost 200 more pages than the original. In
addition, more than 50 new illustrations have been added to facilitate an
easier approach to sometimes difficult information. Where necessary,
entire chapters have been rewritten to cover the latest developments in
human biology and medicine. All these changes have been made with
the reader in mind. In fact, many of the changes were suggestions from
the readers which we have happily incorporated. These include a brief
summary at the end of each chapter, a fold-out depicting the complete
human skeleton, and a table of contents at the beginning of each chapter.
We therefore thank our readers for their many helpful suggestions and
hope that readers of the English edition will follow suit.
Many thanks go to our translator Oliver French MD, who not only
skilfully translated the text but also adapted it to American medical
practice. Due to his expertise this book is far more than a simple transla-
tion of a German textbook; it has really become an international text-
book in its own right. Many helpful suggestions from Ethan Taub MD, a
New York-trained neurosurgeon, were also incorporated into the text.
Preparing this English edition was a rewarding experience and we
hope that the reader will share our enthusiam when studying the fasci-
nating fabric of the human body. This work has been made particularly
enjoyable by the help of the experienced Thieme staff. We would like to
express our appreciation to Ms G Kuhn, Mr R Zepf, and Dr C Bergman. Mr
