Required Gross Anatomy and Embryology Texts

Sauerland, E.K., Grant's Dissector, 13th edition, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2005. Cochard, L.R., Netter's Atlas of Human Embryology, ICON Learning Systems, 2002.
(This is an annotated atlas, not a textbook. All of the major events, processes and structures are included as well as summary tables and a glossary in each chapter, but you should read about embryology in more detail. Embryology can be a difficult subject, and you should prepare for the embryology lectures by reading the assignments in the following required textbook:) Moore, K.L. and T.V.N. Persaud, Before We Are Born - Essentials of Embryology and Birth Defects, 6th edition, WB Saunders, 2003.
One of the following two anatomy atlases: Agur, A.M.R. and Lee, M.J., Grant's Atlas of Anatomy,11th edition, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2005. (keyed to Grant's Dissector; excellent learning aids, more material on development, imaging and variations) or: Clemente, C.D., Anatomy–A Regional Atlas of the Human Body, 5th edition, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2007.
(not keyed to Grant's Dissector, but superior artwork and figures are more complete)
You may wish to purchase an additional atlas (i.e. photographic atlas or Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy). See books on reserve in the library. These have the more specialized purpose of identification with no comments and should not replace Grant or Clemente. * If you opt to join AMSA (American Medical Student Association), you will receive a complimentary copy of the Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy (listed above). Keep this in mind when making book purchases. | |
