PROMETHEUS LernAtlas der Anatomie #1
Thieme Atlas of Anatomy, Vol. 1: General Anatomy and Musculoskeletal System
The new gold standard for learning anatomy.
This remarkable atlas provides exceptionally detailed, clinically relevant anatomic knowledge.
Praise for the prior edition: "This book is an ideal text not only for students of various disciplines studying anatomy for the first time, but it also serves as a valuable resource for faculty and providers."—Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine
Further praise from students:
"Thieme is the best anatomy atlas by far, hands down. Clearer pictures, more pictures, more realistic pictures, structures broken up in ways that make sense and shown from every angle...includes clinical correlations and summary charts of innervations and actions. That's about all there is to it. Just buy it. Thank you Thieme!!! Ok, now back to studying..."
"In my opinion this book surpasses them all. It's the artwork. The artist has found the perfect balance of detail and clarity. Some of these illustrations have to be seen to be believed.... The pearls of clinical information are very good and these add significance to the information and make it easier to remember. Easier to remember is key."
Thieme Atlas of Anatomy: General Anatomy and Musculoskeletal System, Third Edition by renowned educators Michael Schuenke, Erik Schulte, and Udo Schumacher, along with consulting editor Nathan Johnson, expands on the award-winning prior editions with updated spreads and added information on joints, muscle actions, and functional muscle groups. Organized by region, the book begins with an introduction on basic human embryology and development and an overview of the human body. Subsequent general anatomy chapters explore surface anatomy, the bones, joints, muscles, vessels, lymphatic system and glands, and general neuroanatomy. The next section delineates the trunk wall, functional musculature, and the neurovascular system, while the last two sections are dedicated to the upper limb and lower limb.
Key Features:
Nearly 2,100 images including extraordinarily realistic illustrations by Markus Voll and Karl Wesker, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, diagrams, tables, and descriptive text provide an unparalleled wealth of information about muscle structure and bones
Musculoskeletal, vascular, and nervous system structures are presented systematically first, then topographically, thereby supporting classroom learning and active laboratory dissection
Emphasizes important relationships between anatomic structure and function in addition to introducing clinical applications, providing knowledge trainees can apply in practice
Online images with "labels-on and labels-off" capability are ideal for review and self-testing
This visually stunning atlas is a must have for medical, allied health, and physical therapy students, instructors, and practicing physical and massage therapists. It is also a wonderful anatomic reference for professional artists and illustrators.
The THIEME Atlas of Anatomy series also includes two additional volumes, Internal Organs and Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy.
All volumes of the THIEME Atlas of Anatomy series are available in softcover English/International Nomenclature and in hardcover with Latin nomenclature.

Das offene Ende zum Bestehen der Anatomie Prüfung geht Richtung Thriller und ist für meinen Geschmack dann doch etwas zu viel Nervenkitzel. Ansonsten extrem spannend der menschliche Körper. Zeitweise etwas zäh zu lesen. Doch letztlich lässt sich sagen, dass mich die Inhalte dieses Buches nicht nur in meine Träume begleitet haben, sondern meine tägliche Sichtweise auf die Welt nachhaltig verändert haben.

A book that's brought me to tears more than once

Excellent book for reference of the myoskeletal system. I prefer it over Netters.

nochmal Scheiße Anatomie

Ein sehr sehr guter Anatomie-Atlas. Die Abbildungen sind hervorragend. Schnitt- und Röntgenbilder, Zeichnungen von Muskeln und kurze Erklärungen waren genau nach meinem Geschmack.
Der einzige Punkt, der mir nicht gefallen hat, waren die Ursprung-Ansatz-Tabellen. Sie sind zu detailliert zum Auswendiglernen. Stattdessen bevorzuge ich die Tabellen von Amboss, welche studentenfreundlicher sind.
Aber die Abbildungen und die Systematik sind ausgezeichnet, deswegen: 4,5/5.

If you have any need for an anatomy book, buy something from this series. Hands down the best anatomy atlas I've ever used for a reference. When I first opened it up, I just couldn't look away. Beautiful.

I'm not in healthcare at all, but this thing is awesome.
