Grant's Dissector

I am an M1 at UAMS, and Dr. Tank (the author of this text) is actually our Anatomy professor. The purpose of this dissector is to provide a concise, easily understood method for dissection while in lab. The images are intentionally simplistic with the understanding that there are other references (such as Rohen or Netter, which is what I use) that provide more detailed at-home references while studying. Tank actually recommends his grease dissector, with 2 other grease atlases per table in lab. Though the order of dissection may not make sense as you work through, it is planned with the intention of preserving reference structures for later dissections. I've completed a cadaveric anatomy course twice now, and actually hated this dissector the first time I used it. However, I realized that if I took note of the strucures and Clinical Corrs in the order/ way explained by the dissector, I was able to memorize the material more efficiently. THIS IS NOT AN ATLAS - it is a dissector, and as such, I think it serves its purpose.

Very awesome book to get for anatomy. Has helped my lab group and me a lot during the dissection of the human body.

I don;t know why this book has low scoring reviews because each time I used it before going into lab, i learned SO much. I learned many practical tips that were presented in a more interesting way than my class outline or other books. I thought it was really helpful in understanding the material in general and in prep for the lab specifically.

My daughter needed this book for gross anatomy class in medical school. She says it is the perfect study book.
