Flash cards and atlas plates are connected, allowing you to directly jump to related illustrations and view the structures from different angles In 1936, the CIBA Pharmaceutical Company commissioned a small work from him, a fold-up illustration of a heart to promote the sale of digitalis. This proved hugely popular with physicians, and a reprint without the advertising copy was even more popular.

Honorary Award for Contribution to Knowledge of Musculoskeletal System, American Academy of Orthopedic SurgeonsIn the introduction to his seminal volume, Atlas of Human Anatomy [ 7], Frank Netter wrote lightheartedly that he wondered what the truly outstanding and renowned anatomists from history—men like Vesalius, Leonardo da Vinci, William Hunter, and Henry Gray—might have said about his atlas. Through the centuries, these and other major contributors to the advancement of science have skillfully illustrated their observations. “Anatomy of course does not change,” Netter wrote in the Introduction to Atlas, “but our understanding of anatomy and its clinical significance does change as do anatomical terminology and nomenclature” [ 7].

Those flash cards try to be a hybrid between a textbook and an atlas, in the end doing only a mediocre job at being both Netter’s atlases and textbooks are definitely not selfish when it comes to additional resources and this flash card collection is no different. Offering the typical ‘ Student Consult’, you get instant online access to the electronic and interactive version of the atlas, as well as hundreds of MCQs. Essentially, they are tests that quiz you on the names, comments, and clinical knowledge presented on the cards, helping pinpoint any gaps in your understanding. Terrified of your upcoming anatomy exams? No worries, they have nothing on you with those resources! Pros

William Hunter was born near Glasgow, Scotland. He was a scholar, and studied at the University of Glasgow, before moving to London and continuing his studies at St. George’s Hospital. He took up the practice of what was then called man-midwifery, and eventually rose to fame as obstetrician to Queen Charlotte. He founded a school in London for the study of anatomy, where his lectures were exemplary. He employed his younger brother, the distinguished surgeon John Hunter (1728–1793), to perform careful dissections and prepare numerous specimens [ 5]. Presents world-renowned, superbly clear views of the human body from a clinical perspective, with paintings by Dr. Frank Netter as well as Dr. Carlos A. G. Machado, one of today’s foremost medical illustrators. In all, Netter produced nearly 4,000 illustrations, which have been included in countless publications. [6] In perspective, that number represents an image researched, sketched, and completely painted for every three business days for over 50 years. 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 ]

Frank Henry Netter (25 April 1906 – 17 September 1991) was an American surgeon and medical illustrator. The first edition of his Atlas of Human Anatomy — his "personal Sistine Chapel" [1] — was published in 1989; he was a fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine where he was first published in 1957. [2] Biography [ edit ] Early life, training, and medical career [ edit ] Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.Frank H. Netter was born in New York City in 1906. He studied art at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design before entering medical school at New York University, where he received his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1931. During his student years, Dr. Netter’s notebook sketches attracted the attention of the medical faculty and other physicians, allowing him to augment his income by illustrating articles and textbooks. He continued illustrating as a sideline after establishing a surgical practice in 1933, but he ultimately opted to give up his practice in favor of a full-time commitment to art. After service in the United States Army during World War II, Dr. Netter began his long collaboration with the CIBA Pharmaceutical Company (now Novartis Pharmaceuticals). This 45-year partnership resulted in the production of the extraordinary collection of medical art so familiar to physicians and other medical professionals worldwide. Born into a family of physicians, Andreas Vesalius of Brussels studied in France, and became a physician. He had no knowledge of Leonardo’s anatomical studies and illustrations, and was himself not an artist, but he was a great teacher of anatomy and received an appointment as Professor of Surgery at the University of Padua in Italy. Unlike his contemporaries, he would actually descend from his chair and perform dissections himself, instructing students and colleagues alike, and employing charts he had drawn to clarify the discussions and delineate the veins [ 14]. Soon, students began asking for the drawings. In 1538, Vesalius published his three charts of the vascular system together with three additional drawings of the skeletal system done by the artist Jan Stefan van Kalkar. This small collection of six plates was very popular and became known as the Tabulae Anatomicae Sex (Six Anatomical Charts) [ 14].

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.

As you can see, portability is the name of the game - if you like to physically handle them, you can grab a batch from the box, loop the conveniently included ring through the holes and off you go. If however you are attached to your electronic device 24/7 (who isn’t nowadays?) and you want to exploit the ‘Search’ function, then open the flash cards on your phone and start studying. Frank H. Netter was both a physician and an artist. He was born in New York and studied at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League. He went to New York University Medical College, as it was then called, interned at Bellevue Hospital, and joined the outpatient surgical service at Mt. Sinai Hospital. But there was more demand for his sable brush than for his scalpel, and he soon closed his practice to make medical illustrations full time. 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]. Born in London, Henry Gray studied medicine and anatomy at St. George’s Hospital. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society at the young age of 25. His career progressed at St. Georges, from student to demonstrator of anatomy, to curator of the museum, and lecturer of anatomy. 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.

New to this edition

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 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: 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." 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." Flinn, Lewis B. (1977).
