Anatomy textbooks

Mmmm Ive always found Greys to be a little overcrowded. Its got everything there true, but Ive always thought the diagrams were a little loaded. My favourite anatomy textbook is the Oxford Textbook of Functional Anatomy (McKinnon & Morris) (not least because my tutor wrote it!!). Its really clear and simple to understand and goes through each part of the body looking at function as well as structure, which I find helps memorising bits by being able to group things together.

For physiology, I'm liking Vanders, but Berne and Levy is really good too (and they also do a great cardiovascular physiology book).

I agree with you that Gray's Anatomy is very good .This is its link:

I think Snell isn't bad.It is concerned with clinical anatomy more than Gray's
Can you send me its link,please?
I'm first year student as well,but in Egypt

Hey hesham,

The link to gray's was posted in another thread

- and actually, it was:
http://www.bartleby.com/107/

PS. It's the first (one of the first?) Edition of Gray's Anatomy - obviously you'll get much nicer pictures in the newest ones:

The 'student' version:

The 'read deal' full Gray's Anatomy (pricey!):
link 2

and I'd say the second one is the 'bible' of anatomy while the first is more user-friendly (but does not go into as much details as no 2)

I think it is fairly good for clinical years.
This book points out useful info, for medical students,

in clinical practices

Gray's Gray's Gray's every time! Moore's may have better descriptions but you never read the descriptions since Anatomy is all visual! The pictures in Gray's are fabulous, the ones in Moore's are inconsistent and sometimes quite amatuerish IMHO. Also with Gray's you can go to Elsvier's website and download all the images onto your computer - great for presentations and for writing up your own anatomy notes!

I just bought a shiney copy of Gray's (for students) the pictures look awesome and that is what anatomy is. My med school recommended book is clinal oriented anatomy but have to buy Gray's then people will think you are "cool"

I use Clinically Oriented Anatomy though Gray's for students and Netter's are both visually stunning. Netter's has more neuroanatomy, and the illustrations are pretty unbeatable. I also use "Instant Anatomy", which summarises the raw facts such as branches of nerves, blood vessels etc.

My favourite physiology book is Color Atlas of Physiology by Thieme. It is extremely comprehensive with detailed diagrams and illustrations, I find it much easier to read than G+H.
