Revised and updated for a new generation!
The ultimate anatomy atlas for medical study, clinical
reference, and patient education, this updated masterpiece
offers 534 of Netter's own accurate, clear and beautifully
rendered illustrations along with eight Netter-style drawings
rendered by Carlos A.G. Machado, MD.
Noteworthy new features for the Third Edition include:
New Surface Anatomy Images Each section begins with a
surface anatomy plate to draw attention to the surface
features that anticipate the underlying anatomy and highlight
the value of careful observation in clinical medicine.
New Radiographic Images Added as a useful springboard for
further investigation into anatomical detail.
New and Revised Anatomical Images ?Some plates were
selected from The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations
13-volume masterwork. Other images have been slightly
revised to reflect current knowledge.
Expanded index and updated references Realism without the
clutter of confusing minutiae
Almost two-thirds of health science instructors in the United
States choose Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy to train
their students in anatomy. And with very good reason
because Netter's incomparable medical art and artistry, the
foundation of the Atlas of Human Anatomy, reflects his
personal belief in the power of the visual image to teach
without overwhelming the student with dense, confusing text.
To clarify rather than intimidate remains the distinctive and
effective Netter approach and it's been working since the
publication of the First Edition in 1989.
Timeless in its depiction of anatomical structures
Netter's beautifully-drawn color plates facilitate the
understanding of key anatomical relationships in the human
body.
Information is presented visually with little text.
Anatomical terminology is consistent throughout the Atlas
and conforms to the International Anatomical Terminology
(Terminologia Anatomica) approved in 1998.
Common eponyms are retained parenthetically.
Leader lines and labels have been reviewed and corrected,
where necessary, to ensure their accuracy.
Available in both casebound and paperback bindings
Even when not required, more students choose Netter's Atlas
of Human Anatomy for their anatomy coursework over any
other human anatomy atlas being published today.
