Self-Teaching Anatomy

If I had known anatomy books would be full of pictures, I might have taken this as my undergrad course instead.

Kino was a treasure trove of shelves upon shelves of books and I managed to find most of what I was looking for (with the exception of Human Anatomy by Mary Marieb)

For those who are raising their eyebrows at the colorful coloring book, it’s not one of those with big pictures for kids to color in. The book contains the basics of anatomy and allows for students to color in groups of muscular tissue, systems, skeletal structures, etc so they can better understand and memorize the different groups as well as origin and insertion points of muscular tissue.

Quite a well drawn book by Kapit and Elson. Very detailed and concise. And quite highly recommended for those learning anatomy! I took a quite read through the first few pages while in the car and it has not only been really well done, but also made it very much easier for me to learn the concepts of anatomic planes, sections, and terminology.

This book should sound familiar to most people. It was the inspiration for the name of the popular television series Grey’s Anatomy. Gray’s Anatomy (the textbook) is a highly well known and used textbook in the world of medical schools (as far as I can tell so far) and I can definitely see why.

 

With gorgeous diagrams, fantastic paper quality, in depth explanations and descriptions all segregated into easy to search categories, it isn’t difficult to see why this is such a popular book.

Righto! Enough chit chat and time to get down to work again! =)
