Which ones are the best, especially with regard to muscle study of innervation, origin/insertion, etc. Also, for those who used Netter's, do they include synergists?

Thanks. 😀

netter's are good in my opinion - it sure beats having to make up your own cards for origin/insertion/nerve/action etc

also, they even show you a general picture of the muscle (from the netter's book of course) so you can see the muscle in relation to other structures. It's really good to look at right before hitting the sack.

Agreed- Netter's are good. Not as much on pelvis/perineum as I would have liked...but everything else seems pretty thorough.

Anyone know of good flashcards for med school biochem (for people who haven't had it before...)?

I dont know about this "netters are good" mumbo jumbo...NETTERS ARE FANTASTIC!!!!

GET THEM!

I never used them. Most of my friends who did get them, quit using after the first block. The one guy I know who did keep using them did ok, but not great. Learning the anatomy is easy. Most people who struggle find the clinical and 3D relationships to be quite difficult. Most (not all) origins/insertions are low yield. If you want to spend some time with something, get a checkerboard. That was my primary text. Take the tests at the end of the chapters as practice before the real test and do the relavent practice tests on the UMich web site. Get clinicals from class and checkerboard (then Moore if you have time). Even Moore's clinical anatomy ended up being low yield (didn't even open it Block three).

I had tNetters, but I used them probably one hour each test. I just didn't have enough time to do them. You'll have SOOOOO many resources available to you, and granted this is a concise version of tons of info, it just gets overwhelming to have so much available. I typically used them when I was on the bike or the treadmill at the gym.

I have to agree that Netter's is spot on. While I never used the flash cards (my anatomy professor was so good that I didn't need them), the Anatomy Atlas and CD is beyound excellence. For my second semester, I've order the Netter's Physiology Atlas and the Netter's Neuroanatomy atlas. Neither is required for each course, but the artwork in them, just like the Anatomy atlas, is so good that having the books for the artwork alone is worth it.

I lived in my Netter Atlas 👍 Just no flashcards

They are good at the beginning of each block to cram all the structures into your head. At the end of the block Netter's atlas is more useful for all the details. The other thing I really liked instead of Moore was Chung's BRS review of Anatomy.

Hey guys I just wanted to tell you theat the best way to study for the board is to use the BRS material. I just fisnished the basic sciences..so it thought
I would give you guys a heads up!

I used netter's flashcards. I found that they are super amazingly awesome for learning muscles, actions, innervations, origins, insertions, and the various comments on the muscles. Other good cards are ones for ligaments, and for the various structures (like the lacrimal apparatus). As for the rest of the cards, they're marginal at best. The cards with the nerves and vessels aren't all that helpful, since they only identify 8-10 vessels, and they are things like "Aorta" and "Internal Carotid" and you're like "Gee, that helps". The bone cards are equally unhelpful, since they'll only identify about 6 out of 24 structures on a bone. But I felt that the muscle cards alone make netter's flashcards worth getting.

Netters helped me a ton. I also heard that the Netters CD that comes with the purchased Netters (as opposed to the free one from AMSA) is great. I have a couple of friends who lived on that CD.

Netters isn't complete though. There may be other more complete card sets out there.

How did they (your friends living on that CD) breathe? Seriously, the Netter cards were great for preliminary learning but time is essential and the Netter atlas and actual cadaver learning were far more superior. All in all, I wish I had not bought them.

I got a set from www.vis-ed.com. They are great although not in color like Netter but have excellent pictures and very good descriptions. They are only muscles and the set is about $13 for 250 cards.
