There are multiple books available in the market for anatomy, all the books have their own importance but this blog is oriented for the students. So we have selected the most basic most popular and convenient books, which will help students for an easier understanding of anatomy.

Anatomy is the most basic subject which we have just look at your body its Anatomy haha.., ok let’s keep the fun part aside let’s get started.

Anatomy is considered to be the toughest subject in medical and yes you should consider it as the toughest because it’s a wide and huge subject and the stuff you need to mug up, you need to visualize everything but as you have better books you will start enjoying the subject.

 Which is the best book for Gross Anatomy?

I would prefer BD Chaurasia and Grays Anatomy For Students and if someone says to choose between Grey’s Anatomy and BD Chaurasia I would prefer BD Chaurasia over Grey’s. Yeah, that’s true that Grey’s Anatomy is the best book but I prefer BD Chaurasia is more than enough for a student.

So I will give a brief about BD Chaurasia and then about Grey’s Anatomy and brief other alternatives

1. BD Chaurasia (4 Volumes)

BD Chaurasia is a nice book it has a colorful diagram & some kinds of mnemonics are present over there. When I started BD Chaurasia initially,  I feel it’s difficult to read it and a boring subject and consider it to be the average book but as I refer to other books, I feel BD Chaurasia is one of the best books of all time that I have ever seen. For me, BD Chaurasia is the best book for the first year of Gross Anatomy it’s just like spoon-feeding to you. But yes there is one thing that medicos always says you must not rely on only one book for the complete whole subject as an alternative there are two more books, which I prefer the first one is  Vikram Singh Gross Anatomy book. It’s also nice as compared to the BD Chaurasia

And another book for its Snell Clinical Anatomy book. I personally think the diagram of this book is fabulous and its clinical part is fabulous I haven’t seen such kind of detail clinical anatomy in any other book. I never bought this book but I am heard good recognization of this book so it up to you if you want  to but it or not it’s a nice book

As we want to tell you if you are confused between these 3 books then definitely go with the BD Chaurais is the best option available.

2. Gray’s Anatomy for Students

The world’s most popular and most recognized book that’s The Gray’s Anatomy for Students and studying Grey’s Anatomy means you are reading from the Bible of Anatomy, not a single physician can deny its authenticity  It’s absolutely worthy to read this book at least once. Yeah, it’s a bit lengthy. I personally use gray’s for looking at its diagram they are beautifully labeled. And deep detail of every topic. just splendid.

But as I previously told you that topics here are way longer than others, just use this tricky method to take the diagram from Grays and read that portion from the BD Chaurasia, it will become too easy for you to understand the topic.

Final words for gross anatomy books so I recommend you to buy these 2 books. After Grey’s Anatomy & BD Chaurasia Anatomy. I am pretty sure after this you don’t have to buy anything for Gross Anatomy. They are the best textbooks for studying points of view.

Now after completing the Gross, we should go towards Atlas

• Which is the best book on biochemistry for students?

What are the best books for Human Atlas?

For Atlas, I feel the Atlas of Human Anatomy by NETTER and Abrahams’ and McMinn’s Clinical Atlas of Human Anatomy are the best book but I have personally bought only one Atlas i.e. netter”s and if you want to buy any one of the above then you should buy go for the NETTER.  Both books because both have the same purposes, I have NETTER so I would recommend for the NETTER only but if you have a good recommendation for McMinn’s or for any other book then you can go with that.

Now Moving Ahead towards the Embryology

What are the best books for Embryology?

there are recommendations for two books named Langman’s Medical Embryology and Inderbir Singh’s Human Embryology. I prefer Langman’s over Inderbir Singh’s because Langman has interesting clinical boxes and it has the theory with excellent diagram, So I found that LANGMAN is a complete book and well enough for your exams and you don’t need to buy Inderbir Singh.

It’s up to you which you want to buy, I am just giving my opinion and personally speaking, our College/universities are providing certain study materials for embryology which consist every portion of it, so reading from other books quite not worthy for us but from my side recommendation is only for the one book i.e. Langman.

Moving towards Histology

What are the best books for Histology?

honestly, I never have bought any kind of book for histology. Our lab manuals are enough for this but if you still want to buy the books for histology then go with Junqueira’s Basic Histology I have heard good words for this book.

Now it’s time to wind up things, let me just summarize to you the books which you must need to buy in a list form.

• BD chaurasia        (Vikram or snells as an alternative)
• Gray’s anatomy 
• NETTER                (McMinn’s as an alternative)
• LANGMAN           (Inderbir Singh as an alternative)
• Junqueira (Optional)
