Book Description
The eleventh edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology marks a new milestone in the publication of the phenomenally successful Principles of Anatomy and Physiology. Bryan Derrickson of Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida joins Jerry Tortora as a co-author, bringing his background and expertise in physiology in balance with Jerry's focus on anatomy. The authors have maintained in the text the superb balance between structure and function and continue to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program is now even better thanks to the input of hundreds of professors and students and the re-development of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics for students to grasp. The eleventh edition now fully integrates this exceptional text with a host of innovative electronic media, setting the standard once again for a rewarding and successful classroom experience for both students and instructors.

Easy book .......2007-10-05
I love this book. It goes an extra mile into helping students understand the concept of human anatomy. I will keep it for future references.
Great text for the beginning of your medical course.......2007-02-24
This text really is a fantastic resource for someone beginning studies in medicine or medicine-related fields. Clear, precise illustrations, with the right amount of detail for the first year of a course, enable quick learning of the basic principles of structure and function. It is also written very well, set out sensibly, and provides clinical correlations to remind the student how the principles they are learning relate to clinical situations. Highly recommended.
Principles of Anatomy and Physiology.......2007-01-21
I ordered this book for my schooling. This book is excellent! It is packed full of information. I use it often.
Excellent Book.......2006-08-24
this book is awsome it has everything cover for every body system.., its very well explained, has great pictures, great diagrams, great color for diferent parts of the book, divisions, quizes, questions ... its a super book mainly for understanding simple concepts that in other books are very bad explained or with a lot of text.. This book explains the important stuff not with a lot of details as other books you will understand quickly.... Excellent for medschool, i use it for a first reading on the subject and then after understandig the subject and having an idea of it. I read other physiology book and add stuff that didn't mentioned to my notes.
Trust me buy it and you will love it... also has extra information thats is usefull in ABP classes...
Best Anatomy and Physiology Textbook.......2006-06-16
I used the third edition of this textbook when I was enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology I and II in college twenty three years ago. It is still used by the college I attended. The present edition (11th edition) which I purchased is the number one Anatomy and Physiology textbook. It explains every anatomical term and concept very well. The artwork is fabulous in showing the Anatomy and different Physiological processes. It is the best Anatomy and Physiology textbook for a two semester Anatomy and Physiology course.

Best for studying for tests at home, not as a dissection atlas........2007-10-16
This review is from the perspective of a first year medical student in Gross Anatomy. I own both Atlas of Human Anatomy: With Netteranatomy.com (Netter Basic Science) and Grant's Atlas of Anatomy, and what I've found is that they really cannot be compared. They are both 5 stars if you use them properly.
Grant's Atlas shines when it is in the dissection room with you. The "good" drawings were created by professional medical artists using exquisitely dissected specimens. The organization of the atlas is superficial to deep, just as if you are dissecting a body as you are flipping through the pages. In the drawings for example, superficial muscles are reflected to see deeper muscles, but the superficial muscles are still there, allowing you to see relationships between superficial and deep muscles (Netter doesn't do this in favor of simplification. Earlier I said "good" drawings. These are the "classic dissection illustrations" that really make this book special (Dorothy Foster Chubb's illustrations are at least as good as Netter's, but other less skilled skilled artists also contributed illustrations to this atlas). There are also poor quality schematic illustrations that can be helpful as a tool of simplification. There are also plenty of CT and MRI images since these have become so essential to the practice of medicine. I should also mention that there is text associated with each image and tables of origins, insertions, and innervations that are also helpful, and there is a CD included with 300 USMLE style questions. These are nice but Netter is better for this type of studying.
Netter's atlas shines for at home study away from your cadaver. It is more high-yield than Grant's atlas and makes for easier and faster learning. Grant, because of its thoroughness for dissection's sake, can be a little bit of a chore to get through when cramming for a test. Netter's atlas is able to do this because it does not try to be a dissection atlas. It's drawings are too simplified for that kind of work, designed to give you only the core information that makes it impossibly easy to learn and retain the most crucial anatomical relationships. Also, this atlas, unlike Grant's, has no text associated with the figures. Instead, you must go to netteranatomy.com. This website is absolutely priceless, containing bulleted high-yield fact, mnemonics, great tables, case studies, exams, and Netter plates that can have labels turned on and off. Also, the associated flash cards are very helpful to because, in addition to naming structures, it gives numerous high yield facts associated with the structures. And you can take them anywhere.
So, in short, Grant's atlas and Netter's atlas are both excellent. Each can stand on its own, but they really do compliment each other; Grant's is the best while dissecting, and Netter's is best for studying for tests and USMLE.
WOW!.......2007-10-06
This book is fantastic. The pictures are of the highest quality. This book is a must have for any health professions graduate student!
easy to use illustrated anatomy atlas.......2007-09-23
This anatomy atlas comes in pretty handy. The pictures are usually very descriptive and detailed, and even though they are illustrated rather than photographed, they are quite accurate. This is a good atlas for the beginner anatomist. I am using it as a study aid for my college anatomy course and I feel like it's doing the job. Compared to other atlases I've looked at, it is pretty good at giving different angles of perspective of the anatomical structures depicted, which makes applying the information to a 3D form easier.
Free with SOMA!.......2007-09-09
Sometimes SOMA gives a free one for purchasing a membership, which is cheaper than the book. Check before buying.
Atlas of Human Anatomy (Netter).......2007-09-05
This atlas has excellent, colorful drawings showing the anatomy of the human body. It includes the same region from different angles and perspectives. It is organized by system and region and has an excellent index in the back. It is a MUST when studying Anatomy and Physiology and can accompany many Physiology texts.

Come on; It's Netter!.......2007-09-10
I have not come across a single medical student, or physician for that matter, who does not agree that the Atlas of Human Anatomy by Netter is by far the best human atlas available. I purchased the 2nd edition soft cover back in the mid 90's as a 1st year med student. I recently purchased this hard cover 4th edition because my practice gave me CME money to spend at will. The 4th edition has some new plates and accommodates artist impressions of transverse CT views using late Dr Netter's style.
FYI.......2007-09-09
I just received my copy of this book and am really thrilled to own it. As a student, I looked at buying the less expensive version but opted to purchase the hardcover copy for long-term use. The pictures are incredible and as someone who appreciates art, I am in awe of Netter's talent. I plan on using this for my future classes and would recommend it to all of you "visual learners" out there.
Accelerated Shipping is Fraud!!.......2007-08-26
Accelerated Shipping is Fraud!! They say that anything under $400 can be left, and they charge you twice as much, but then don't leave the book...which means I couldn't give it as a gift (which was the only reason I ordered it accelerated delivery!!!!) DON'T USE IT!!! Afterwards they'll tell you that the "guarantee" is covered for anything!
Beautiful text.......2007-08-23
Netter's work is wonderfully displayed here in a useful text. The index is quite good. The paper quality is very nice. The only complaint is that the CD-ROM is a little clunky, at least on Macintosh. Who cares? I probably wouldn't use it much anyway.
Nice book for Anatomy class.......2007-06-11
There is a scratch on the book when it arrive. But the book is well written, excellent drawing will excite your interest on human.

Customer Reviews:
Great for a review for a person with established knowledge.......2007-09-01
This is a great book if you already have had teaching and review in neuroscience (usually 1st year of medical school). Use this book only for review and ongoing learning. If you don't have a basis in neuroscience, this text is a little thin on basic information
Good, but could be better.......2007-06-03
This atlas served its purpose during our neuro block in medical school. The pics were good, but the illustrations of the different tracks could be better. The design of the atlas made it easy to use; however, the comparisons of the hand drawn tracks and nuclei made it difficult to get a feel for the real locations on real pictures.
Unfortunately, we were held to much higher standards when exam times came around, but I guess that is med school.
I would recommend the purchase of this book as I didnt see any other alternatives that provided the info in a better manner.
Good atlas, could be better........2006-09-28
I agree with the other review in that the actual real pictures were extremely helpful yet the depiction of tracts were difficult for me to follow at times. This is a required text for my neuroanatomy course, and it served a vital purpose. I like this text and would recommend it to anyone in the field.
Beautiful pics.......2004-05-09
I gave it four stars because I don't think I could recommend this atlas as a stand-alone sole reference for someone trying to master neuro-anatomy, but I do recommend it as part of your arsenal.
I don't know if you have had the experience of moving to a new city. Have you? You study street maps, and you have to get lost several times. But somewhere along the line you start having moments where things are snapping into focus. You start to see how things fit together in your head. Soon you are imagining short-cuts, anticipating the traffic jams, and debating the best routes with the natives.
I had to struggle with this atlas a little. I'm more a psych guy than a neuro guy but I love the circuitry and appreciate the importance of understanding it. I liked this initially because of the great illustrations of brain sections, but soon I found that things were clicking into place in my mind.
I recommend this for anyone struggling to understand all the tracts and nuclei in the spinal cord and brain stem. There is a sequence of slices in the middle section of this atlas that creeps up slowly, from lumbar spine through the thalamus, with a picture of an actual stained section next to a labelled illustration. I went through this slowly and carefully, copying the pictures as I went. And then, BOOM, I had that moment. I could see it all, motor tracts, sensory tracts, cerebellar circuits, ventricles, even the friggin' reticular activating system. It was quite an expansive feeling.
Again, not a flawless book. I still like to go back to Netter's to see the limbic structures and basal ganglia dissections as well as to review the vasculature. But Haines' Atlas does have some unique strengths if you are willing to work through it very patiently. Enjoy.
Peace, I'm out.
ok but it lacks some stuff.......2002-03-12
This is an ok atlas for neuro anatomy but I found it lacked some pathways. However, what it does have in pathways is fairly clear and concise. Still, the slides lack clarity so some stuff is hard to understand.

A Great Learning Tool!.......2007-09-19
As a vet student I am using this book to study for anatomy. The pictures are detailed and accurate! This is a great resource for learning equine anatomy, and coloring in the pictures helps with memorization.
Good overview, nice drawings.......2007-07-17
This item is named 'coloring atlas', so I expected colours and pictures, but it is drawings with no colours. This book gives an excellent overview i a very systematic manner. Good to get understanding, but not details i excess.
great equine anatomy book.......2007-05-15
This equine anatomy book is great for 4-H kids, especially those studying for Hippology. It's also great for pre-vet students or even veterinary students.
Great Teaching Tool for Young Riders .......2007-05-10
Making anatomy interesting for middle and high school kids is a tough task at best. This book takes advantage of the natural love of horses to teach them more about horses in a very scientific way. And it's fun. A nice tool to use on days when the weather makes riding impossible.
Excellent resource.......2007-01-09
This book contains very large and clear illustrations and excellent captions. It is exactly what I have been searching for and have not been able to find even though I have used several books and resources before. I can highly recommend this book.

Customer Reviews:
Loved this atlas for neuroanatomy.......2007-02-10
I used this atlas extensively for neuroanatomy in med school. Pictures are phenomenal, and the pathways overlayed on anatomical structures are very helpful. I prefer this atlas over Haines.
Great images!.......2006-08-10
This is a great atlas with photographs of slices, MRI images and more, and FANTASTIC pathways illustrations.
Essential Book.......2003-07-25
"...an essential requirement for the library of any individual who works in the field...if you buy only one atlas, this is the one to by." (Journal of Neurosurgery, Vol. 98, June 2003)
Recommended Book.......2002-12-17
"I will certainly use [The Brain Atlas] to teach our residents in neuroanatomy and will encourage them to purchase the book as well." --Volker K.H. Sonntag, M.D., Barrow Neurosurgical Associates, Ltd.
Medical Student Opinion.......2000-02-23
The photographs are excellent, but the index sucks. It is poorly organized and incomplete. Take my advice and buy this book for Neuroanatomy just for the pictures. The paperback edition is very afforadable. Just put lots of little flags on the pages or sections you use most. It will save you much brain-ache.

Great images loose value when miniaturized........2007-07-20
It is frustrating and sad to see Dr. Netter's art being miniaturized.
The book should be sold together with a microscope.

Fine for undergraduates but of little use to the orthopaedic trainee. Better off with one of the Thieme series.
Netter's concise atlas of orthopaedic anatomy by john Thompson [paperback].......2005-09-25
My order arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. I will do business with this seller again
Book Description
This atlas includes full-color photographs of actual cadaver dissections instead of idealized illustrations, to accurately and realistically represent anatomical structures. Often used by students as an alternative or supplement to their lab experience, and as an introduction to exactly what they should see before they dissect, as well as a study aid before practical/identification exams.
Customer Reviews:
Good but need compliment atlas.......2007-08-10
the atlas is good and descriptive. It is helpful and detailed for clinical use. For learning though there are better atlas, like the netter atlas. this is not to say that this atlas is bad. If this atlas is used in compliment to the netter atlas, learning is easier.
Not Perfect but Essential.......2007-03-09
This atlas of anatomy is an excellent addition to your anatomy textbooks. You get actual cadaver photos instead of stylized drawings of the 'typical' human. This atlas cannot be used without an accompanying textbook such as a Grey's Anatomy, but this can really make a difference for a practical. If people damage bodies and you cannot find the structure, this atlas allows you to pinpoint it with accuracy. It does have a few omissions here and there, but compared to the other atlases, this is much better.
Plentiful, clear photos and outstanding organization.......2007-02-14
I too, return to this atlas for the photo-realism. I especially appreciated the colored cranial bones (just like my favorite real model in class), colored bronchopulmonary segments of the lungs, and colored differentiation of the brain lobes. The photos of the skull break apart each individual bone into multiple angle views and pieces to expose you to all the hidden landmarks. They're also a good test of spacial recognition of the same landmark from multiple views and layers. Other photo atlases just don't have this breath and depth AND the photos in this one are the clearest I've seen. Most are shot on a black background for utmost contrast and clarity. The cadaver disections are clearly defined and distinctly detailed. Pencil sketches which further clarify the photos, are in black and white, using color only to highlight the featured system or organ, which is a different approach from Netter's.
Essential supplement for gross anatomy.......2007-01-06
I used this book along with Netter's atlas for my gross anatomy course in med school. However I found myself referring to Rohen far and away more often than Netter's. Because Rohen has actual photographs of cadavers it is VERY useful for studying for anatomy PRACTICAL EXAMS. What you see in Rohen is what you will see on your cadaver, whereas Netter's is pretty to look at but not at all realistic. Highly recommended!
Essential Atlas for Gross Anatomy.......2006-10-07
Although Netter's classic drawings are helpful in understanding the layout of human body systems, I find that this 6th Edition of Rohen is outstanding due to the excellent photography of professionally-dissected cadavers. It is much easier to identify complex structures on real cadavers in a Gross Anatomy lab using this reference; moreover, it is helpful as a tool to study when the cadaver lab is not open. Real bodies are much more difficult to analyze than idealized drawings--with this book, you can review before a laboratory excercise and have a more realistic expectation of what you are going to actually see.
People generally have different tastes in the types of atlases that they prefer to use, but I think that this one covers everything you would want to see.
Book Description
This atlas details the vascular anatomy seen on angiographic images and in the new imaging modalities. The book presents the complete anatomy of the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system by body region. Full-color drawings are correlated with angiographic images to guide evaluation and management of vascular disease and performance of endovascular procedures. For this Second Edition, Dr. Uflacker has added more than 100 pictures and extensively reviewed the anatomical description of the vascular system. He has expanded the cardiac chapter with new CTA and MRI images, added percutaneous access where needed, and expanded the coverage of lower extremity anatomy.
Customer Reviews:
Vascular anatomy at its best.......2005-09-29
Vascular anatomy has always been the bane of the junior resident. This text is organized by organ system covering vascular anatomy of the head and neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis and extremities. Each chapter is preceded by text describing important anatomic relationships.
The neuroradiology images include MR and DSA images. Angiographic images are supplemented with very nice illustrations similar in style to Dr. Netter.
Also covered are anatomic variants of vascular anatomy which is very useful. This text is invaluable to the the diagnostician, in addition to the interventionalist. This book is worth a look!
Book Description
Since 1943, students have made Grant's the centerpiece of their anatomy lab experience. Now in its Eleventh Edition, this classic atlas continues to provide students with accurate anatomical images presented in a pedagogically effective, clinically relevant manner. This new edition has been revised to include 100 additional four-color illustrations, additional orientation drawings, and updated terminology. This edition is packaged with a student version of Dynamic Human Anatomy, an interactive electronic supplement which includes 800 images from the Eleventh Edition of Grant's, 8 video clips from Acland's DVD Atlas of Human Anatomy, and 100 USMLE-style review questions in anatomy.

The best dissection atlas out there........2007-10-16

So, in short, Grant's atlas and Netter's atlas are both excellent. Each can stand on its own, but they really do compliment each other; Grant's is the best while dissecting, and Netter's is best for studying for tests and USMLE.
awesome atlas.......2007-09-22
awesome atlas. great "teaching atlas" with explanations to go along with the pictures. a great way to go through each system, as if a teacher were guiding you through each structure/organ. also, incudes a CD-ROM that can be installed on your computer, so you can review the atlas contents and it also includes a "quizzing" feature with labels removed.
All the information you need.......2006-03-09
Lots and lots of illustrations, so it has all the stuff you need. Not easily accessible/not easy to navigate.
Good but not excellent.......2005-07-09
This is re: 10th edition.
Grant's atlas serves well to orient a student for performing disection. The drawings are very well suited to the actual condition of flesh after embalming. I found the text to be superior to other atlases (except Rohan) for understanding the spatial dimensions of a disection proceedure. Unfortunately, however, there are some major limitations to the Grant atlas. 1) Only a minority of possible structures are labeled on each drawing, ie, you may see CN 12 in the drawing, but it won't be labeled 2) Many of Netter's drawings are simplifications to make underlying patterns or details more understandable - this understanding of anatomy is lost in Grant's in preferrence for factual reporting. For most students, the intuition within Netter's drawings is far more valuable 3) Grant's atlas focuses on disection. Most students will never disect the dead again. An atlas like Netter focuses on surgical representations, which, of course, is more appropriate for long term understanding.
Underrated, but truly delivers. That's what we found........2005-04-12
This is the review I posted regarding the Netter atlas. I cite here, because it compared the Netter atlas with Grant's. It reflects the view of somebody that really experimented on the dissecting table various atlases. In the end, our group ended up with Grant's. It really delivered for us. My review assumes you will have a thorough anatomy exam, including cadaver, x-rays, CT, and physical examination of the live human. It might be that you school will only require a written examination, in which case our experience might not be the same. However, I feel this atlas develops fundamental skills.
"Netter's genius shines in the CIBA books, not on this atlas. It lacks fundamental correlations with what today's student must acquaint themselves with: MRI, CT, x-rays, and not to forget physical examination.
I guess the rave is all about only knowing this atlas, and also because of older teachers only know this atlas. I am not saying this [Netter's] is a bad atlas at all. All I am saying is that there are other choices that integrate information in a more meaningful way for today's medical student.
Our anatomy dissection group had Netter, Sobbotta, Grant's, Yokoshi's, and McMinn's atlases. We found Netter and Sobbotta to have "pretty pictures". Yokoshi had cadaver sections only, but they were executed by anatomy experts. If you followed it, you would get in trouble and section something you shouldn't (we became so appreciative of the human body's simmetry because of that). Same with McMinn's (and we also found some dissections not very inteligible, I might add). Students that displayed avoidance behavior towards dissection, and were more of the "exam cram" types favored Netter (that might also have been because of a lack of curiosity regarding other atlases). But we were not so, we stayed until late in the dissection room, only leaving when the night shift guard *made* us leave.
The atlas that truly delivered a nice view of anatomical *relations* between parts, and had dissections we could follow on the table, and that contained clear correlations with clinical and imaging information (part of our anatomy exam involved not only cadaver but x-rays, CT, and clinical topography) was Grant's Atlas of Anatomy. That was what we discovered through trial and error. It costs a lot less than some other atlases, and it is underrated, but it delivers much more. But YMMV."
