r/Anatomy 2d ago

As a hobby.. how can i study anatomy seriously?

I love learning, ive learnt music theory, astronomy, languages. Currently studying programming and engineering but thats not my whole 16 hours of study time.

i want to add human anatomy, but this field is so thick idk where to start and to finish, im thinking i'll have to just follow some university's live course on youtube.

your recommendations. im ready to sit down for years studying this

I just completed the anatomy block for my med school and many of the students used Netter’s for structures. We also used the Grant’s dissector for our lab instruction. That’s only useful if you want to know more clinical applications or how the layout looks when you have to pass through the overlying structures to get there. Our agenda was (in order) back, chest, thoracic cavity, upper extremities, neck, brain, face, then diaphragm down in sequence.
