The most comprehensive resource for any medical student. Having purchased a different textbook on the advice of my Human Anatomy professor, I found the my first text overwhelmingly complex and confusing. In search of a more student-friendly text, I came across this book, and the quality and clarity far surpasses any other anatomy textbook I've seen.

This book features a detailed look at virtually every part of the human body. The information is clearly presented, and features a wide array of colored images and charts to make the information even more user-friendly. And students can easily find what they are looking for using the index section of the book (which unfortunately cannot be said for all medical textbooks).

All med students should get this book- it will save them a great deal of complexity, confusion and frustration

If you have studied a bit of anatomy, this text should be no problem. I used it to broaden and deepen my knowledge of anatomy after having taken two anatomy classes, and also used it as a reference when working as a tutor. I found it also aided my work as a dissector. It is a great introduction and preparation for tackling the full text.

If you are not having your anatomy notes handed to you on a silver platter, or you simply learn better from reading text books than listening to lectures, this is a good book. Very easy to read, very well organized, decent graphics & lots of clinical correlates. This book saved me from the sections taught by the new anatomy professor (who wasn't a bad prof, he was just forced to come across as disconnected & slightly contradictory b/c he was forced to teach from the previous professors notes/slides).

I own two anatomy textbooks (Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Sixth Edition: Softcover North American Edition and this one) and I've also read others. This is an excellent resource for medical students who are just starting to learn anatomy. Other textbooks are better when it comes to written descriptions, but few other textbooks can match the diagrams in Gray's Anatomy for Students (excepting Netter's Atlas of course).

If you want to learn anatomy study from grays, it is smoothly sectioned, the right way to say it that it is sectioned by "region" not like other books sectioned by "systems". And it has clear pictures, detailed, that can be easily memorized. The best book for me, Ido love it.

I bought this after getting fed up with Snell's Clinical Anatomy. It's like having Netter's Illustrations and Gray's Anatomy, albeit condensed, in one.

از معتبرترین منابع آناتومی
تصاویر کتاب بسیار دقیق و مفید هستن، اما طبق نظر برخی اساتید من این کتاب یه مقدار در بخش متن و توضیحات ضعیفه
کیس‌های بالینی همراه با تصاویر سی‌تی و ام‌آر‌آی تو هر بخش هست
همچنین آناتومی سطحی هم خلاصه بیان شده
تو ویرایش جدید یه فصل نوروآناتومی هم اضافه کردن
نشر اشراقیه تو ایران کتاب رو به زبان اصلی چاپ میکنه؛ من ویرایش چهارم رو دارم. گرچه گلاسه نیست ولی خوبه

It is a stand-alone anatomy book which is very well-known worldwide. I used it during my anatomy study. Despite being the student version (the baby version), it is still very large to digest.
I would highly recommend reading the clinical boxes in each chapter. They are really helpful and I personally learned a lot from it.

Logging this as proof that I have been reading! Just not what I usually would have wanted to.
The 3 star review is because of the Latin, which all of the anatomy illustrations where described with. So it was quite confusing while I was trying to learn, because I only need to know the Polish and English terms.

very good book; the theory is explained with pictures, and understood on clinical cases. I recommend it to any medical student to become a master of anatomy

Enjoyable textbook I'll keep with me throughout medical school. Very readable. I guess I've not read every last bit of this book but I read a lot of it and since I passed my anatomy class, I don't expect I'll be reading it as intensely as I was anytime soon. Overall it's a delightful text. Highly recommended.

I liked this 'cause it was way simpler than other texts, like Anatomy of Human Body and the pictures were cool and understandable, although not as precise as Atlas of Human Anatomy: With netteranatomy.com but it makes an excellent text book for people that are not familiar/ used to heavy content anatomy books.

Plus, I've met Doctor Richard L. Drake and he is super nice and intelligent and open to aswer questions or doubts about his book.

I referred to this book in my first years in medical school, it includes very good illustrations and figures there are of higher quality than any another Anatomy book. Sometimes you may find some details missing about certain subjects. And sometimes you need to skip lots of pages to find a specific note . Sometimes I found snell more beneficial ,inclusive and comprehensive while grays Anatomy lacks Embryology notes . And it's not good reference if you searching upon clinical notes .

I dont recommend reading it from cover to cover ..specifically for new students . But as I said it's the best for pictures.

the reason I kept "Gray's Anatomy for Students" as my primary textbook for anatomy was that I didn't need to look up in atlas for illustrations and diagrams . the book itself consist most conceptual diagrams . alongside illustrations text is also systemic and simple. would recommend it over snells anatomy

“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”
― Oscar Wilde
This is the one which can be read again and again and again and over again. :-)
The whole of human body with the near life pictures. This actually helped me pass my exams.
