Gray's Anatomy is an English-language textbook of human anatomy written by Henry Gray. Earlier editions were called Anatomy: Descriptive and Surgical and Gray's Anatomy: Descriptive and Applied, but the book's name is commonly shortened to, and later editions are titled, Gray's Anatomy. The book is widely regarded as the most comprehensive account of current anatomical understanding available, and has continued to be revised and republished from its initial publication in 1858 to the present day. The book inspired the name of the US television drama, Grey’s Anatomy.
