Atlas of Human Anatomy, 7e (Netter Basic Science)

Product Information

Don’t accomplish their purpose - Spending money on a product that tries to solve a problem and then failing to accomplish it doesn’t sound like a good deal at all! The sheer amount of information found on the cards equals wasted time, decreased productivity, and retention difficulty. Your anatomy textbook already comes with those three problems, so you certainly don’t need even more of the same work on your hands! The pharmaceutical companies were making great discoveries, and medical knowledge was advancing rapidly. Early in his career as a medical illustrator Netter created pictures published by several different companies, including Armour Laboratories, Winthrop Chemical Company, and Pfizer & Co. But it was the Ciba Pharmaceutical Company, seeking to provide a service to the medical community by publishing medical educational materials, that became Frank Netter’s greatest patron. Between 1949 and 1991, Ciba published 15 full color atlases, now known as the Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, depicting the human organism in health and disease; more than 200 monographs under the title Clinical Symposia and featuring his pictures; as well as his Atlas of Human Anatomy, what Netter called his “Sistine Chapel,” and the best-selling anatomy atlas in the world.

Retrieved 25 April 2014. Netter stood on the shoulders of predecessors in both his art and in medicine. He did not create his own specimens, as did the Hunter brothers. Unlike Leonardo, who had to discover for himself the anatomy he depicted, Netter had great practitioners and researchers teach him the latest thinking in medical practice and knowledge. He was the most prolific of medical illustrators, having created more than 4000 pictures for Ciba alone [ 6]. As you can see, ‘Netter’s Anatomy Flash Cards 4th Edition’ have their pros and cons. On one hand they have a solid illustration basis, are portable, and the knowledge is organized intelligently, being connected with more detailed images from ‘Netter’s Human Anatomy Atlas’. On the other hand, the collection is scarily complex in terms of the amount of information included, the images are not the most realistic, their aims feel unorganised, and the cards are organized by regions, to name a few. As a result, they are far from being the best resource.Honorary Award for Contribution to Knowledge of Musculoskeletal System, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Frank Henry Netter (25 April 1906 – 17 September 1991) was an American surgeon and medical illustrator. The first edition of his Atlas of Human Anatomy — his "personal Sistine Chapel" [1] — was published in 1989; he was a fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine where he was first published in 1957.

While it is quite far fetched to whip out all 325 cards and start studying them on the train or bus, you can separate them into smaller batches and carry those with you instead, boosting your productivity and taking advantage of those ‘dead moments’ throughout your day. Let’s be honest, you can only study a maximum of a few tens of cards at once before your head explodes, so you won’t need to carry them all with you anyway. Dr. Netter’s works are among the finest examples of the use of illustration in the teaching of medical concepts. The 13-book Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, which includes the greater part of the more than 20,000 paintings created by Dr. Netter, became and remains one of the most famous medical works ever published. The Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy, first published in 1989, presents the anatomic paintings from the Netter Collection. Now translated into 16 languages, it is the anatomy atlas of choice among medical and health professions students the world over. In 1936, the CIBA Pharmaceutical Company commissioned a small work from him, a fold-up illustration of a heart to promote the sale of digitalis. This proved hugely popular with physicians, and a reprint without the advertising copy was even more popular.
