Product Information

Netter's illustrations, effective organization of information, one muscle per card, cross-references to atlas images and other plates, portable, Student consult, durable and sturdy In his work, Dr. Netter made pencil sketches, which he then copied, transferred, and painted to portray gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, x-ray images, and drawings of patients. "I try to depict living patients whenever possible," Netter said. "After all, physicians do see patients, and we must remember we are treating whole human beings." When asked whether he regretted giving up his surgical practice, Dr. Netter replied that he thought of himself as a clinician with a specialty that encompasses the whole of medicine. "My field covers everything. I must be a specialist in every specialty; I must be able to talk with all physicians on their own terms. I probably do more studying than anyone else in the world" he said. Durabl e and sturdy - The quality of ‘Netter’s Anatomy Flash Cards 4th Edition’ is not only evident in its content, but it is also reflected in the quality of the cards themselves. They are laminated and feel extremely sturdy, surviving any coffee spills during those exhausting mornings before exams and during those long commutes when they are shoved in your bag.

Contains new illustrations by Dr. Machado including clinically important areas such as the pelvic cavity, temporal and infratemporal fossae, nasal turbinates, and more.The pharmaceutical companies were making great discoveries, and medical knowledge was advancing rapidly. Early in his career as a medical illustrator Netter created pictures published by several different companies, including Armour Laboratories, Winthrop Chemical Company, and Pfizer & Co. But it was the Ciba Pharmaceutical Company, seeking to provide a service to the medical community by publishing medical educational materials, that became Frank Netter’s greatest patron. Between 1949 and 1991, Ciba published 15 full color atlases, now known as the Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, depicting the human organism in health and disease; more than 200 monographs under the title Clinical Symposia and featuring his pictures; as well as his Atlas of Human Anatomy, what Netter called his “Sistine Chapel,” and the best-selling anatomy atlas in the world. a b Netter, Francine Mary; Friedlaender, Gary E.

Portabl e - This advantage shouldn’t be a surprise because at the end of the day, they are flash cards, so they are portable. While it is quite far fetched to whip out all 325 cards and start studying them on the train or bus, you can separate them into smaller batches and carry those with you instead, boosting your productivity and taking advantage of those ‘dead moments’ throughout your day. Let’s be honest, you can only study a maximum of a few tens of cards at once before your head explodes, so you won’t need to carry them all with you anyway. During the time that Hunter was compiling his atlas, the Royal Librarian Richard Dalton rediscovered, in the collection at Windsor, the lost and unpublished Leonardo da Vinci anatomical drawings. As Hunter was a great collector of 15 th century art, Dalton may have shown them to Hunter, who in turn, may have modeled pictures in his atlas after those of the master [ 1, 4].

Time consuming and daunting, don't accomplish their purpose very effectively, several titles contain hints, illustrations are not realistic, problematic small size, organized by regions Starting out as a young physician during the Depression, Dr. Netter found that there was more interest in his medical artwork than his surgical capabilities. "I thought I could do drawings until I had my practice on its feet," he recalled, "but the demand for my pictures grew much faster than the demand for my surgery. As a result, I gave up my practice entirely." Dr. Netter’s works are among the finest examples of the use of illustration in the teaching of medical concepts. The 13-book Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, which includes the greater part of the more than 20,000 paintings created by Dr. Netter, became and remains one of the most famous medical works ever published. The Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy, first published in 1989, presents the anatomic paintings from the Netter Collection. Now translated into 16 languages, it is the anatomy atlas of choice among medical and health professions students the world over. Frank H. Netter (January 1981), "Frank Netter: The Man, The Artist, The Surgeon", Medical Times (condensed reprint from The Saturday Evening Post, 1976)Following the success of these endeavors, Netter was asked to illustrate a series of atlases that became his life's work. They are a group of volumes individually devoted to each organ system, which cover human anatomy, embryology, physiology, pathology, and pertinent clinical features of the diseases arising in each system. Dr. Netter has completed volumes on the nervous system, reproductive system, the lower and upper digestive tracts, the liver, biliary tract and pancreas, endocrine system, kidney, ureters, urinary bladder, respiratory system, and musculoskeletal system.

Published courtesy of the Yale University, Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library Published by Elsevier Saunders, ‘Netter’s Anatomy Flash Cards’ are quite a new addition to the realm of anatomy learning. The very first edition appeared only in 2002, to be exact, the time period when the real and enthusiastic drive to bring anatomy learning into the 21st century actually began. The fourth edition, which is the subject of this review, was published in 2014, and their format looks like this: Netter was skeptical of the claims of alternative medicine and fad diets. He wrote Fad Diets Can Be Deadly (1975) which debunked the misleading claims of fad diets. [5] Legacy [ edit ]

As you can see, ‘Netter’s Anatomy Flash Cards 4th Edition’ have their pros and cons. On one hand they have a solid illustration basis, are portable, and the knowledge is organized intelligently, being connected with more detailed images from ‘Netter’s Human Anatomy Atlas’. On the other hand, the collection is scarily complex in terms of the amount of information included, the images are not the most realistic, their aims feel unorganised, and the cards are organized by regions, to name a few. As a result, they are far from being the best resource. Dr. Netter's beautifully rendered volumes are now to be found in every medical school library in the country as well as in many doctors' offices around the world, and his work has helped to educate and enlighten generations of doctors. In 1988, The New York Times called Netter " an artist who has probably contributed more to medical education than most of the world's anatomy professor's taken together."
