A&P study tools

DorkyStudentNurse · Mar 28, 2006

A study tool that I found helpful for A&P was the coloring book. Some people never used it, some people loved it. I was one of the people who loved it. I'm a visual learner and quite frankly wanted an excuse to color It really helped me though. The one I used was The Anatomy Coloring Book by Wynn Kapit and Lawrence M. Elson.

Some of my friends used A&P flashcards (you can buy them online or in some bookstores). I made my own and they did just fine but the pre-made ones are definitely more thorough.

I wish I could give more help but I basically just studied my butt off using the textbook + course notes, colored in my book, and carried around flashcards everywhere. Worked for me but everyone learns differently.

Good luck :)

http://www.bartleby.com/107/ this is gray's anatomy on line, the complete text. you can enlarge the pictures. pictures of the bones not only name the various landmarks of the bones, but also show the areas where the various muscles and ligaments are attached.

http://www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/meded/grossanatomy/index.htm - links you into lumen learn 'em. has pictures of anatomy you can practice labeling. parts of the bones are labeled with numbers. by clicking on the numbers, the answer appears in a box on the left upper part of the page. you can link into some of the practice exams, but not all. includes answers. from loyola university school of medicine.

http://www.getbodysmart.com/ - basic interactive anatomy tutorials animation with quizzes

http://www.msjensen.gen.umn.edu/webanatomy/ - these are links into fun interactive anatomy quizzes designed for freshman anatomy and physiology students presented by the university of minnesota. they are organized by body system and subjects. you can take the quizzes as a single player on your own, against a timed clock, or on line against other students (still under construction). at the left side are links into a group of matching questions and lots of diagrams of anatomical structures to labeling organized by body system.

http://www.sirinet.net/~jgjohnso/index.html - home page of the biology teacher at frederick high school in frederick, oklahoma. this instructor teaches a high school class of a&p. although you want to link into the biology ii homepage, i notice that there is information in the biology i homepage to link into that also pertains to some a&p. there are plenty of quizzes and practice exercises scattered throughout this extensive site, but i could not find any answers. presented in a little easier than college level, i thought this was an awesome introduction to a&p!

http://www.rad.washington.edu/atlas2/ - nicely presented drawings of the muscles of the upper and lower extremities. select a muscle to view a beautiful drawing of it's location, and a listing of it's origin, insertion, action, innervation and arterial supply.

i've always been a big believer in having supplemental texts when studying a class. sometimes something that i am having trouble understanding in my textbook becomes a little clearer when i read about it in another textbook. so, it might be worth your while to invest in an a&p textbook that is different from the one used by the school you will be taking your class from.

Our teacher gave us websites to visit. Try netanatomy.com We used that a lot. Many students and our teacher found many websites to help students learn anatomy. Good Luck! :)

I find the A&P "made incredibly easy" book very helpful.

Good luck!
