For example, I appreciate its famous blue boxes focused on the clinical application of anatomy. But I find the text and organization leave something to be desired. The strength of Gray's is its beautiful pictures and diagrams. * For an anatomy textbook, Gray's Anatomy for Students and either (baby) Moore's Essential Clinical Anatomy or (big) Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy are often recommended. You can preview various texts and atlases via Amazon's preview feature, or often they're also preview-able on the publisher's website, to decide what's best for you. Whereas atlases contain tons of photos, illustrations, and other diagrams, as well as things like radiological images, with a sparse amount of text. Texts explain anatomy and anatomical relations and so forth in-depth, and also include some photos, diagrams, etc. So, for more detail, some students might instead prefer to purchase separate textbooks for each subject - anatomy and physiology.įor anatomy, there are texts and then there are atlases. The main drawback of an integrated textbook like this one is that it tends not to be as in-depth as a standalone textbook focused on a single subject. There are some other features such as the occasional histology slide to help out too. Maybe it's a personal thing, but I find it helps in remembering to study the two together. Also, I like how anatomy and physiology are integrated, so you learn where things are located as well as what they do. But the information is clear and accessible.
It is somewhat dry, but, well, this is a textbook, not a novel. There's just enough info for a first year med student - not too little, not too much. The text and illustrations are excellent. The pouch is shaped perfectly to hold a CD. I mean, it has a little CD pouch or holder inside the front book cover, as if a CD should be inside of it. I believe I bought it about the same time she did (assuming she purchased it around the time she wrote her review in April '09). Thomas, I too purchased this book from Amazon, but it didn't come with a CD. Still, I'm very happy with the purc Like a previous reviewer, Rachael M.
The eleventh edition now fully integrates this exceptional text with a host of innovative electronic media, setting the standard once again for a rewarding and successful classroom experience for both students and instructors.more The acclaimed illustration program is now even better thanks to the input of hundreds of professors and students and the re-development of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics for students to grasp. The authors have maintained in the text the superb balance between structure and function and continue to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. Bryan Derrickson of Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida joins Jerry Tortora as a co-author, bringing his background and expertise in physiology in balance with Jerry's focus on anatomy.
