Best human anatomy and basic medical procedure book?
Hello. I’m going on a pre-med program in the fall and I would really like to prepare myself. I have very little knowledge about the human body and the functions and parts outside of the basics I learned in biology. I want to go into the program knowing a lot of the parts and how the body works, even if it’s just an only slightly detailed overview. I also would like to inform myself about medical procedures and surgeries. I don’t want a book that is too dense like a textbook (Such as Gray’s Anatomy), but preferably well written and easy to understand. Do you know of any books that would be of use to me? Thanks!

Textbook wise – I used Moore’s clinical anatomy
however if you want a basic read over about anatomy thats easy to read as well — i would suggest checking this book out
