Netter's Photographic Anatomy Companion - E-Book (eBook)

Connect what you see in prosections and dissections in the anatomy lab with the detailed medical illustrations of Frank H. Netter, MD. Netter's Photographic Anatomy Companion features 80 carefully selected plates from the well-known Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy, each paired with photographs of real cadaver prosections in the same position, plane, and view. This unique reference and study tool provides a visual connection between the idealized anatomical concepts in Netter's famous illustrations with the photos of body donors seen in the anatomy lab, making it an invaluable resource for learning human anatomy, as a dissection reference, for practical exam review, and for prepping for surgical rotations. - Provides a unique, visual connection between real-world cadaveric presentation in the anatomy lab with Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy, the most widely used anatomy atlas for medical programs. - Pairs dissection photographs side by side with classic Netter illustrations in the same view and orientation, helping solve the common problem of dissected and prosected specimens of body donors that do not closely resemble the idealized images in an illustrated atlas. - Makes it easier to locate structures in a body donor and connect that structure with the detailed, high-quality illustration of a didactic Netter plate, enabling you to more quickly discover, learn, and understand anatomical structures and relationships. - An ideal reference tool for the prosection or dissection lab, anatomy instructors, and medical and allied health students, as well as an excellent study aid outside the lab for practicals, exams, and surgical rotations.

Dr. R. Shane Tubbs is Neurosurgery Professor; Structural & Cellular Biology Professor and Anatomical Research Director, CNRC; Surgical Anatomy Director at Tulane School of Medicine His 'reverse translational anatomy” lab works researches clinical/surgical problems through anatomical studies. This investigative paradigm has resulted in over 1,500 peer reviewed publications. Dr. Tubbs' lab has made novel discoveries in human anatomy and many anatomical feasibility studies from his lab have been used by surgeons from around the world. He has been a visiting professor to major institutions in the U.S. and worldwide. Dr. Tubbs has authored/edited over 50 books including Gray's Anatomy Review, Gray's Clinical Photographic Dissector of the Human Body, Netter's Introduction to Clinical Procedures, Anatomy for Plastic Surgery of the Face, Head, and Neck, Nerves and Nerve Injuries, A History of Human Anatomy, and Bergman's Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation. He is an editor for the 41st and 42nd editions of Gray's Anatomy, the 5th through 7th editions of Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy and is the editor-in-chief of the journal Clinical Anatomy, which is the official journal of the American and British Associations of Clinical Anatomists. Dr. Tubbs was recently named chair of the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies.
