I love gray's for students its fab! the only way to learn anatomy is visually....and it definitely has enough detail for what you actually need to knwo for exams (well at least at GKT)....its soooo purteeee.....never tried DVDs for anatomy thought (probably cos we have dissection :P)

Moore is now (5th edition) more aimed at budding surgeons and other professionals rather than students - if you can get hold of a 4th edition that might be more relevant.

Personally, I always found Grays great for learning from as the diagrams are *fantastic* and the text is very easy to read and understand. Moore is very good for getting extra detail or clinical aspects out of however. Depends what you're after the book for.

I hold up my hands and admit I can never remember which Gray / Grey is which... Apologies if it caused any confusion.

We were told Gray's anatomy is too detailed - mind you, we do a negligible amount of anatomy here - we don't even have to know insertion and exertion (or whatever it's called) of muscles, just the function of the main ones, and their innervation.

However, our anatomy teacher is just bringing out his own book - if it's as good as hs lectures, it's not worth the paper it's printed on, but I bet we'll all have to buy it anyway

I quite like Grant's atlas of anatomy, and use the Anatomy Colouring Book to help learn things - sounds a bit lame but it's actually really helpful.

I like Grays Anatomy. I find Moore and Dalley hard to read. For some reason Southampton has a bad rep for anatomy, but judging from this thread we do more than some! Not as much as Notts and Oxbridge or St Andrews's but more than i was led to believe.

I find it amazing that you [Bex X sorry] don't need to know origins and insertions! How can you work out what movement a muscle produces at what joint if you don't know where, how which side ood something it attaches to?

Memorise them, same as everything else... My anatomy notes read:
Flexors of the hip: psoas...
Extensor of the hip: gluteus maximus
etc etc. Makes for short reading at least!

Hmm i'm not convinced. But then maybe thats just because i can't imagine learning anatomy like that

I'm not realy convinced either. Possibly we're supposed to learn the insertions etc, but we won't be tested on them. Personally though, I'm not sure of the clinical relevance of knowing every one - knowing the problem spots, like the lateral epicondyles for wrist extensors, is probably more useful... probably...

I don't think i know all of them but we can be tested on them. It definetely helped me learn the movements of the muscles better (we've just finished locomotor). I spent two weeks trying to get into my head the flexors in my arms are not the flexors in my legs

The artwork in Grays anatomy for students is great!! But whilst Moore and Dalley may be a little more complex, the detail is second to none.
Still I don't think anything compares with learning from the real thing in a dissection lab.
Good luck with your studies!!
