Hello Medics.Who has heard of or used the shorter version of Keith Moore...Essential Clinical Anatomy

Hi...What are the books recommended at UNN for preclinicals

ISISs:
Wat is her state of origin?

For biochemistry (Lippincotts or harpers or marks); histology (junquiera, difoire or wheaters) and neuroanatomy (Snell's or ?)

Pes13:
I would take Keith Moore anytime any day over any textbook for gross anatomy.

Though your taste and reading pattern should dictate your choice of textbook.

But Keith is reader friendly, wonderful illustrations, and it is interesting to read..

Guyton and Moore are good textbooks for physiology and embryology respectively.

Thanks a lot. I didn't mention essentials because I'm trying to decide which will be my primary textbook
How about histology(junqueira,wheaters or difoire) ,biochemistry(lippincotts,harpers or marks) and neuroanatomy(Snell's or)?

Kimsokrates:
Anatomy:I will go with Keith Moore anytime anyday because It is easy to read and understand.It is also tailored to clinical practices.
physiology:I will go with guyton because it encompasses a lot of knowledge relevant to clinical practice.But I will advise you to also keep a ganong textbook too for "extra knowledge"that may come in handy.I was surprised you did not mention essential physiology textbook.Though,it is more exam oriented than clinical oriented,it is also good read too because it simplifies most physiological concepts.But never make essential physiology your primary physiology textbook unless it is what your lecturer recommend.It should be secondary to either guyton or ganong depending on your lecturer's preference
Embryology:I used both Moore and saddler.But I will unequivocally tell you to go for Moore embryology because it is more reader friendly than saddler.Moore embryology is also most lecturers'choice.

Thanks so muchh

UI though.Gannong is favoured but too hard to comprehend

LEGITLAYO:
It all boils down to your lecturers preference.
BTW wah school are you representing?
I didn't use any of the books, I was a staunch believer of sembulingam

Thanks..I guess its online

Stephansmily:
Having used both Saddler and Moore, I've come to a conclusion that no textbook of Embryology beats Vishram Singh's textbook. This book's description is everything, it is well spaced(unlike Saddler),has more clinical correlates and easy to sketch diagrams.

Thanks a lot.And do you know any useful online resources for preclinicals?

Brukx:
Keith vs Last; Keith is a wonderful book. It's very rich In clinical notes and contains comprehensive diagrams. Last on the other hand looks quite disoriented(just my opinion though). The choice is yours

Ganong VA Guyton; These are both wonderful textbooks. Guyton is very rich in facts and figures. same goes with Ganong. But I feel Ganong seems to miss the point at times(based on the mbbs syllabus)

Keith vs Saddler

Keith was a professor of Human Anatomy. Saddler on the other hand was a professor of Embryology .

I think you should read 2 topics fr each then weigh out your preferences

Thanks a lot. So Keith Moore is more explanatory.Also,between guyton and gannong which did you prefer?

LEGITLAYO:
Depends on the school you are and what your lecturer uses...
Left to me, I enjoy developing human by Keith Moore, because of the images and vivid explanation of abstract concepts in embryology...
But my lecturer uses saddler, so in order for me to score high marks in incourses, I had to use saddler also.
You can decide to use both If you're up to the task.
It's all for knowledge sake..
Cheers

Hi guys...which is better... Lasts or Keith Moore for gross anatomy, guyton or gannong for physiology and Moore or saddlers for embryology? And what are he reasons...thanks so much guys

Between Keith Moore embryology and saddlers,which is better? And reasons�

Hi guys. I'm about to start my second year in medical school.And I'm trying to make a good choice on books. And I need help.

So what's best for Gross Anatomy,Embryology, Histology, Neuroanatomy,Physiology and Biochemistry? I need a main book for each subject that will help solidify my concepts and gear me towards a distinction.

Thanks a lot guys
