Product Description

Responding to current trends in anatomy curricula, this innovative new resource covers surface and radiological anatomy and cutaneous and muscular innervations as well as gross anatomy. Outstandingly realistic three-dimensional photographs and illustrations, plus a consistent chapter organization, summary tables, and other user-friendly features, enhance readers' mastery of essential information. It provides students with a unique resource for use before, during and after lab work, in preparation for examinations, and later on as a primer for clinical work. * LARGE PHOTOS, typically just one per page, taken in such a way as to be as intuitive as possible: so, no more squinting over a small photo or wondering where on the live body the dissection image might relate to; * DIGITAL PHOTOSHOP TECHNIQUES used on some of the dissections to color enhance structures and thereby combine the best features of a photo atlas and an artwork atlas like Netter (see p.9 of the sample chapter): so, no more puzzling over structures that are hard to distinguish from the background of the dissection, a criticism often levelled at photographic atlases; * Simple, non-parallel LEADER LINE LABELLING as opposed to matching numbers to a key at the bottom of the page: so, no need to spend time trying to find a number on a dissection, then matching it to a key at the bottom of the page; * ORIENTATION INSERTS when the dissection photo is an extreme close-up: so, students won't be baffled anymore by close-ups they cannot understand;

Wonderful Book for Cadaver Lab/Class
This book has great cadaver photos. Also, I love the charts of the muscles that give: origin, insertion, action, innervation, blood supply, etc. Along with Gray's Anatomy for students, this book is the book I use the most to prepare for and complete dissections.

outstanding anatomy atlas
This is an outstanding supplemental atlas for medical school anatomy. The tables are great for learning how all of the muscles/nerves/vessels are related and the "real dissection photo" style of the book compliments a "Netter" type atlas very well when identifying anatomy in a cadaver.

Not the worst book ever.
The dissection photos are ok. You are able to see the structures in the dissection, but I would like to see different angles of the dissection to get a full view of the structures. I did not like the anatomical terms they use (fibular instead of peroneal) and the content (text) of this book is not as good as I would have liked it to be. I would recommend this text for the pictures only.
