Review & Description

The new gold standard for learning anatomy

Atlas of Anatomy, Second Edition, is the essential resource for anyone studying gross anatomy.  Packed with over 2,400 full-color illustrations, this atlas guides you step-by-step through each region of the body, helping you master the details of anatomy.

Key Features:
Exquisite full-color illustrations with clear, thorough labeling and descriptive captions
Even more clinical correlations help students make the connection between anatomy and medicine
Coverage of each region intuitively arranged to simplify learning:  beginning with the skeletal framework,  then adding muscles, organs,  vasculature, and nerves, and concluding with topographic illustrations that put it all together
Over 170 tables summarize key anatomic information for ease of study and review
Innovative, user-friendly format in which each two-page spread is a self-contained guide to a topic
Surface anatomy spreads now include regions and reference lines or planes in addition to landmarks and palpable structures to develop physical exam skills
Muscle Fact spreads ideal for memorization, reference, and review organize the essentials about muscles, including origin, insertion, innervation, and action
New sectional anatomy spreads at the end of units build familiarity with 2D views of anatomic regions 
Access to WinkingSkull.com PLUS, with over 500 images from the book for labels on and labels-off review  and  timed self-tests for exam preparation

Atlas of Anatomy is the students choice:
Thieme is the best anatomy atlas by far, hands down. Clearer pictures, more pictures, more realistic picturesstructures broken up in ways that make sense and shown from every angleincludes clinical correlations and summary charts of innervations and actions. That's about all there is to it. Just buy it. Thank you Thieme!!! Ok, now back to studying...

In my opinion this book surpasses them all. It's the artwork. The artist has found the perfect balance of detail and clarity. Some of these illustrations have to be seen to be believed . The pearls of clinical information are very good and these add significance to the information and make it easier to remember.  Easier to remember is key.
