Hi,
I'm going to be starting an anatomy course (ugrad, post-bac) next week and am interested in buying some additional resources to supplement the text. Can anyone recommend a good atlas of anatomy, anatomy coloring book and/or online resources for anatomy? I have a copy of Gray's Anatomy as well as access to it online, but was told it's not very helpful and that an atlas would be better.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I've found this site to be helpful studying for the practicals.

I have this full color anatomy atlas book by Martini. Its black, its big ad its absolutely amazing. It comes with cadaver pics, crossections and those whole nine yards. Pretty pricey too.

I have found Frank Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy to be invaluable, and highly recommend it. Also, you could ask your professor which atlas he/she recommends that will complement the specifics of the course you will be taking.

Get Netter's 3rd Ed. It's as good as Drawing Atlases go. Gray's Anatomy is way more info than you even need in med school (i think we learn about 1/4 - 1/2 of Gray's anatomy in my course?).

Get whatever anatomy text is recommended. The ones I'd recommend are too advanced for an ugrad course (with lots of clinical correlations and details that you won't really see doing a standard dissection).

Rohen's is really good:

Also, definitley get a Netter's and a BRS Anatomy:

There are Netter's cards too, but I didn't end up using them that much.

Also, check out Loyola's online stuff: http://www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/meded/grossanatomy/index.htm (Lumen Learn-Em, Cross-sectional Anatomy, and the Radiology will probably be most helpful)

Thanks everyone for your helpful recommendations!
The online resources are great and I've ordered a copy of Netter's Atlas.
And to you jokesters vhawk01 and swifteagle43, part of my motivation for taking this course was definitely all the great jokes to be made and pickup lines to be used. 😀 I love it!

Thanks again!

Dear Pineapple,

Don't bother with Gray's for an undergraduate anatomy course; the detail of that text is beyond the scope of the material you'll be studying. Check out the Visible Human Project viz. the National Institutes of Health, and find the "NetAnatomy" site for beautiful, illustrated dissections. If you're willing to spend some money, look into Acland's DVD Atlas of Human Anatomy, available from Lippincott's. The set is composed of 6 DVD's, and costs around $150.

Best of luck

i used the netter flashcards. i liked them. but once you get into the lab, there's no comparison to actually getting your hands dirty (literally) and finding the muscles / origins & insertions / tendons / bones / etc. on the cadaver. its pretty impossible to be able to identify stuff without practicing on the cadavers. and practice (if possible) on multiple cadavers, as genetic variation and differences in age and gender can make some differences throughout the body that make additional challanges to identifying things. have fun. 🙂
