Skeletal system

Does anyone know of any good APPs to help with studying the Skeletal system, or even a place where I could by an anatomically correct skeleton for inexpensive.

If your school provides the skeleton in lab I would suggest taking pictures of all the bones. Otherwise you can find pictures online and even games and quizzes that will help you.

The Anatomy coloring book helped me a good amount when I was doing the muscles and bones

The skeletal system is a complex system to learn! If you just keep looking at the bones over, and over again you will start to remember them! :) also YouTube videos, and quizlet have helped me out a lot!

Good Luck!

I rocked learning the skeletal and muscle systems by tutoring other people. Maybe you can convince a friend to let you "teach" it to them.

Writing them over and over, labeling diagrams, can help the memory too.

message me your email address, I have an animated powerpoint of the skeletal system that I found was really useful for learning landmarks

James -- sent them your way, plus a bunch of others on different systems

I am doing the skeleton now, too.

Quizlet is awesome, some sets (especially ones from teachers) have pictures of the bones and bone markings and you can quiz yourself by using the test option, which is helpful. I am considering making a picture atlas for myself for points not covered on these sets.

Check with the publisher of your text book. My a&p text came with a program called "mastering a&p". There was a section where I could practice identifying images of bones along with everything else. Helped me study for practicals

I just want to thank everyone for the help and tips. I took my test and got a 89,would have been higher but my spelling was horrible.

Yep, we must have used the same book. Mastering A&P had great practice tests and interactive diagrams to study from. Definitely useful for the A&P series.
