Instant Anatomy

"Instant Anatomy" is a reference book for students of human anatomy. It includes several schematic diagrams and pictures, many of which are drawn by Whitaker himself. The intention is to simplify the regions of anatomy into easier to remember parts, creating an 'instant' summary. The book is divided up into sections for arteries, veins, lymphatics, autonomic nervous system, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, dermatomes and cutanious nerve distrubution, muscles, joints, ossification times, faramina - skull and spine, spaces other than skull and spine, position of structures according to vertebral levels and pharyngeal derivatives. There is also an accompanying website [ [http://www.instantanatomy.net Instant Anatomy - Learn human anatomy online ] ] which has several more pictures, podcasts and video teaching. It is clear from the 'guestbook' of the website [ [http://www.instantanatomy.net/guestbook.html Instant Anatomy ] ] that it is used and appreciated by many people all around the world in their studies of anatomy.
