Absolutely Essential!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2010

Verified Purchase

All the other reviews are obviously from people who need to know this for medical school or other reasons. I thought I would contribute a review for those looking for practical information.

I teach voice and piano, and I have many students who have injured themselves because of incorrect playing or singing. I was looking for a resource to help them understand the mechanics of playing and singing, and a friend lent me these DVDs for a few days, and I just had to buy the entire set right away. These DVDs are a wonderful resource not just for studying the human body, but also for understanding how the body functions. If you use your body in any way, understanding the most efficient and least-damaging way to use it is essential to avoid repetitive stress injury and other injuries.

The videos are beautiful quality, and everything is clearly explained, including the attachment and insertions, and the function of the muscles and how they work together to perform various actions. This is like nothing else out there. My students who have seen the DVDs are astounded by how much progress they make since they understand how to use their hands or throat muscles, and how much less pain they have. If you are an athlete, musician, or anyone who uses their body to earn a living, you must get this to understand how your body works, so you can keep your body in peak condition.

In short, buy it now.

Dr Acland is my Hero

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 4, 2011

Verified Purchase

One day I will bake cookies and send them to Dr Acland for making such an incredible, useful series of DVDs. I dedicate my success in medical school gross anatomy to his DVDs.

The dissections are of the highest quality, and the fresh tissue dissection allows for incredibly realistic texture, appearance and movement. The format is incredibly clear and the "table of contents" navigation makes finding exactly what I want to see a cinch. Dr Acland's presentation of the material is incredibly precise and clear, and shows the structures in a 3D manner absent in even the best books.

I watch these as a supplement for class material and as a dissection review both before and after dissection labs. My grade has significantly improved as a result of regularly watching these DVDs.

I bought the DVD set instead of the web subscription because I want to be able to watch them in year 2 and beyond, because clinical work always has to keep the pertinent anatomy in mind.

Great to learn Anatomy.

The videos were well explained and the picture was good. The sound could be a little low at times, but otherwise these are a great set of DVDs to study Anatomy. I am very happy with my purchase.

The best single purchase I made in Medical School thus far!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2013

Verified Purchase

I got the high score in my Medical School Anatomy course because of this DVD series. I recommend it 100% to all freshmen medical students. It takes all the disorienting aspects of anatomy and sorts them out. You have to have a tolerance for monotone voices though, it can be slow/dull.

Best dissection ever.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

Dr. Acland is very stiff but the dissections are the best you will find anywhere. Every student who is interested in in the human body needs these videos. I have been in practice for 22 years and think any Doctor will benefit from these. Money well spent, you won't regret it.

Detailed, approachable anatomy atlas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

Acland's DVD Atlas of Human Anatomy is famous amongst surgical trainees in the UK, many of whom find it a useful adjunct to the rather detailed and dry texts that are available. It is 15 hours long over 6 DVDs, covering the upper and lower limbs, musculoskeletal structure and contents of the trunk, and the head and neck. As a little bonus there is a glossary of terms, including the greek and latin origins of words - this helps make the names easier to understand/remember.

Acland's excels in a number of ways:

- The production team have used fresh cadaveric specimens that have been carefully prosected in layers. With careful scripting, the anatomical structures are then "added to the picture" or removed in order to demonstrate how things fit together.
- The specimens are mounted so that they rotate to show the three-dimensional nature of structures and their relations to one another.
- Live models, cadavers and dry skeletons are all used to demonstrate movements and muscle functions.
- Dry bone specimens are used to provide orientation and to demonstrate origins/insertions of muscles etc.
- A review at the end of each section runs through the main features, to act either as a reminder or as a test.

The delivery in particular is memorable - Acland is something of a character and is obviously well-versed. He makes the odd comment if a muscle is oddly named, reassures you that the brachial plexus isn't too formidable, and points out oddities such as C8 and the nomenclature of the subclavian/axillary/brachial vessels.

What isn't included - very fine structures such as the inner ear, detailed cranial nerve anatomy, dermatomes, and some smaller neurovascular structures here and there. This is an atlas of anatomy, so don't expect a ton of applied anatomy and clinical pointers, either. Oh and there's a few Americanisms in there - not too many though. Generally, the DVD atlas is a great aid to learning, and you'd only need to refer to a textbook for specifics as the DVDs cover all the basics.

So, on the whole, a very good resource for anyone learning anatomy, right up to MRCS level material. As with reviewing actual prosections, it needs supplementing with a decent anatomy text such as Last's, but the DVD set is well worth getting, especially if you're struggling with putting everything together in your mind.

A life saver for learning muscle location and function

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 15, 2011

These DVDs explain calmly and logically the position of each muscle, its origin and insertion and how it works. It is done in such a memorable way that it takes all the pain out of learning anatomy. I am thrilled to have such a resource available to me.
