    Smile Anatomy textbooks

    What do think are the best anatomy textbooks? And physiology textbooks? Or do you think any of the combined ones are appropriate for first year medics? Thanks for the input and any links!

    Agreed. For physiology, Guyton is incredible.

    A+P textbooks such as Martini are good as primers.

    I have Tortora and Anagnostakos Principles of Anatomy and Physiology sixth edition from...1990! It was my mum's and I think it's THE book that got me interested in medicine in the first place

    We're recommended Snell for anatomy, but no-one seems to like it very much - the pictures are fairly small and not very clear. The one I've heard the best things about is Gray's Anatomy for Students, but our library only has one copy so I haven't managed to get my hands on it yet!

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

    Marieb if you have the mental capacity of a 3yr old, but for anyone else I wouldn't recommend it.

    Clinically Oriented Anatomy

    I use Berne & Levy, but only because it's the best of a bad bunch .... I've never really found a physiology book I particularly like, so I tend to buy a specific one for whatever system we're studying.

    Whilst on the subject of books, I *love* At A Glance. They're fab.

    The diagrams in Gray's anatomy are big and pretty I had a look at the medical pharmacology at a glance book today. I found myself reading it for half an hour in the bookshop, I like the English they use. It isn't ponsified.

    Moore's clinically orientated anatomy is the clearest and most efficient anatomy book for medics. not only is it short sweet and to the point, but the diagrams are clear and simple.

    There is no such thing as a good physiology text. oxymoron in my opinion. I have Berne & Levy as well, but dont much like it. However, i have never had a need to find a better one.
