Netter is wonderful, but this website isn’t.
I use Netter Anatomy books (among others) at work everyday; Netter’s truly beautiful illustrations make dissections easier. This website is fantastic if you know the anatomy and need to look up a very specific illustration of a dissection, view, etc, or if you have money to spend.
For learning anatomy, I say skip the website, focus on easier to use ones, and when you can afford it, buy the book.
