Preface

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.
