Atlas of Anatomy
Atlas of Anatomy Books
Product Description
Complete with excruciating, full-color illustrations by award-winning artists Markus Voll and Karl Wesker, the atlas is organized to lead students step-by-step through each province of the body. Each province opens with the foundational skeletal framework. The later chapters build upon this foundation, adding the muscles, then organs, then vessels, then nerves, and finally presenting topographic anatomy for a comprehensive view. Each unit closes with surface anatomy accompanied by questions that question the reader to apply knowledge learned for the real-life corporal examination of patients.
Features:
-2,200 full-color illustrations of unsurpassed quality
-Brief introductory texts that provide an accessible entry top when a new topic is presented
-Clinical correlates and images, including radiographs, MRIs, CT scans, and endoscopic views
-Muscle Fact pages that organize the essentials, including origin, insertion, and innervation–ideal for memorization, reference, and review
-Navigators that orient the reader with location and plane of dissection
- A scrape-off code provides access to Winking Skull.com PLUS, an interactive online study
aid, featuring over 600 full-color anatomy illustrations and radiographs, ?marks-on,
marks-off” functionality, and timed self-tests
This atlas provides everything students need in just the aptly format, making the mastery of human anatomy eminently achievable.

I own both and I must say hands down Gilroy is superior to Netter. Why?
1) WAY more clinical associations with diagrams depicting different scenarios than Netter. It has drawings of the thorax in black and white with key anatomical features in color to tell you what’s going on clearly.
2) Illustrations depicting normal anatomical functions besides just giving you illustrations of normal anatomy. For an example it shows you what happens to the costodiaphragmatic recess during normal inspiration and how it closes off during normal expiration. So, you don’t just read what happens to various body parts during normal function. You really see examples of how body parts exchange during normal function. Of course not all functions can be shown. It’ll have to control a million pages for that. But, Gilroy shows you a lot more than Netter in this respect.
3)Cranial nerve section has small illustrations above a table that has function, ganglia etc to show areas of the body controlled…again b/w for the general area of the body part and color for the specific area (ie CN VII fore 2/3 of the tongue colored for taste sensation even as rest of the tongue is in b/w).
4) Much more radiology examples than Netter.
5) The illustrations are better and more appealing than Netter (this is just my attitude).
There are so many more examples why Gilroy is better than Netter. I’ve really loved using this book.

This anatomy book is fantastic for studying university-level anatomy. It shows many body parts that are not listed in other books. The illustrations are excellent, too. This book also comes with a code for online access. I highly urge this atlas.

For the last two years I have been using this atlas to teach advanced human anatomy with an emphasis on structures in the head and neck. What attracted me to this particular atlas was the evident quality of the figures–in small, they are brilliant. I find them highly right in shape, texture, scale, labeling (Terminologia Anatomica), and often even with respect to the colors experimental during surgical dissections. The figures typically provide multiple perspectives of a structure or province in a consistent and well-organized manner. I find this atlas especially helpful when teaching trying concepts, e.g. where an appreciation of adjacent structures is necessary to grasp the clinical importance of a province such as the pterygopalatine fossa or the triangles of the neck. At times my students find the detail provided in the figures overwhelming and distracting. As an instructor, this detail provides pretty much everything I may possibly want and therefore gives me the flexibility to emphasize the specific details of importance for my class. I do find that the simplified schematic figures of Gray’s Anatomy for Students are sometimes preferred by me and my students to achieve some of my teaching objectives.
If there is a weakness, it is the minimal text that accompanies the graphics. I realize that this is an atlas and as such, it is not proposed to be a comprehensive textbook on human anatomy. There is some text and a few summary tables included in this atlas and those are well done, but it is the paucity of text that is the most common complaint from my students. As an instructor, this is sometimes a benefit; I have the flexibility to provide my own context and perspective for my students. Nevertheless, my students, complain that they have very small additional helpful in rank from the publisher to help guide them through and make best use of the brilliant figures. If there were a way to make this book better and more helpful, it would be to provide additional text that is befitting the quality of the outstanding graphics.
