Netter's Advanced Head and Neck Flash Cards evolved from an expressed need for health professionals to learn and review the salient aspects of head and neck anatomy. Many of today's courses in anatomy are shortened versions of their predecessors. Thus, the onus has been put on the student, as a lifelong learner, to fill-in the areas that are often only briefly covered in lectures or problem-based learning (PBL) sessions. The anatomy of the head and neck is one of the most challenging areas of human anatomy to study and master.
Head and neck anatomy is composed of many structures that may seem miniscule to the naked eye but essential to the understanding of the whole. These flash cards are designed for users at all stages in their careers: the freshman student to the practicing clinician who desires a quick review. While Netter's Advanced Head and Neck Flash Cards use some of the images found in the 4th edition of Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy, this set is written at a more advanced level and is complemented with many more detailed images. A series of clinical correlates are incorporated into the appropriate sections of the set. A section on imaging has also been included to aid the reader in his or her study.
The flash cards have been designed to test as well as to teach the reader. On the front of each card is an image with a series of labels to identify. On the reverse side are the answers to the labels and text or a table reviewing structure, function, and clinical relevance.
Netter's Advanced Head and Neck Flash Cards are a quick resource for studying the complex anatomy of the head and neck, which is the foundation for understanding so much of how the human body works in health and disease. Neil S. Norton, PhD
