Best Anatomy Book?

[coreytayloris]

what do you guys think are the best anatomy books?
im currently using COA Moore and Dalley, but i just find its all over the place, if i want to find the anatomical location of something i go to one page, but then if i want to find the nerves that innervate it ive to skip on two hundred more pages! its killing me, the book just seems so disorganised and unstructured!!!!!!
one of my class mates lives by Snell so i was thinking of buying that, but any other suggestion?

I personally hate that book - I preferred Gray's Anatomy for Students. Each body region has a section in the book, and they divide it up and do regional anatomy.

i.e: for the limbs, they do innervation, blood supply, muscles, etc. compartment by compartment. I found it so much easier to digest the information that way

Netter >>> Grants in my personal experience.
Especially when it's your first time going through the material.

I use Netter's and I know that his format and drawings have been translated into many languages. Might also want to look into Thieme (or Theime not sure). It's a great atlas and it helped me learn the material much quicker than Netter. It comes in four volumes and I found it most useful for Head and Neck.

I really like Thieme. I struggle with tracing the blood supplies, and they separate them out quite nicely. I know several people who swear by Netter's, though.

Every atlas has its own goal/purpose. Netter's tends to be the best at illustrating a particular point, but isn't the best if you want to know what the exact anatomy looks like.

I honestly never saw a point in any of the big anatomy texts. I'm a book person, but BRS anatomy, Netters, maybe Rohen's for color pictures once in a while and lots of practice questions was all I needed.

Netter's is beautiful and good for if you just want to see where a structure is in relation to other stuff.

The Grays for students is good if you want words and explanations of what you're seeing.

Gray's was a great book, I love how it was organized. Only problem is that it does not have enough clinical correlations so you would have to read the Blue Boxes in Moore's. I used the Netter's flash card plus the Michigan website to supplement the course.

 

[boaz]

I use Moore's, looking thru the figures and captions only. If I feel like I need more explanation, I look at the text a little.

Atlas: Netter
Textbook with a bunch of stuff you don't need to know: Grays
Text with everything that's important as far as test Material: Rapid Review by Moore

 

[grotto]

Rohen is absolutely key for practicals. Go through your hit list before exam with Rohen and you will do well.

Grant is the source for clinical correlation and drawings/diagrams/tables are fine and comparable to netter. I think Netter's Atlas is totally over-rated and the flash cards are useless.

i think using gray's anatomy alongside class lecture and then moore's thin COA for either additional study/later review works well. moore's book was good in helping prep for exam questions. our questions were usually clinically oriented, and it helped seeing some of the examples in moore prior to taking the tests.

Grey's anatomy for students is a beautiful book for explanations and it has some really great diagrams and representations as well. If you just want pictures, you can't beat Netter's. And for really concise bullets I have found that BRS anatomy is really good.
