Weblink for Anatomical Study

As per Mr. Trench's suggestion, I found a great website for study of skeleton. There are photographs of all the bones with numbered arrows. You quiz yourself by identifying the areas and the answers are a click away. I will find other sites for each of the major systems an keep the links at the top of the page for ease of reference.

This absolves me of writing questions tonight...lol. Friday though, be prepared for the Sesame Street Version of Anatomy 32!

Have a great evening!

Test 1 Autopsy

Okay - no getting around it - that first test just sucked. Good thing we get to drop a low score test. Suggestions to help us all study more effectively. Read the book *and* recopy the data in the handouts during lecture. It will help you "get" what is being discussed.

Upward and onward....Next section will cover the integument (skin).
