i borrowed the information below from the a&p 1 fall club.(hope no one minds) i thought that it would be helpful to those of us taking a&p 1 this winter/spring semester.
hopefully there will be enough of us interested in this thread so that we can get a sticky.
those of you who have already taken a&p, please feel free to stop by at any time . we would love to have your imput also. thanks :)

http://edgewood.k12.wi.us/depart/sci...usclelabel.gif
http://edgewood.k12.wi.us/depart/sci...usclelabel.gifvirtual anatomy lab http://www.sunyniagara.cc.ny.us/val/valindex.html
from niagara community college. searchable, user friendly site. includes some cat dissection views. great resources, links for each body system addressed.
lumen gross anatomy site http://www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/med...em/learnit.htm
histoweb http://www.kumc.edu/instruction/medi...tomy/histoweb/
from the university of kansas. outstanding for learning tissue types and subtypes.
lumen histology site http://www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/med...to_frames.html
fantasic resource for learning tissue types, subtypes, and locations.
neuroscience for kids - cranial nerves http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/cranial.html
from washington university of st. louis. great diagrams and study guide for learning the 12 pairs of cranial nerves.
physiology animations http://www.uh.edu/sibs/tutorial/ap2.htm#urinary
some are interactive; from many body systems and processes covered in this class; sponsored by university of texas at houston
blood cell histology http://www.unomaha.edu/hpa/blood.html
from the university of omaha, nebraska - identification, information about formed elements of blood. be sure to use numbers presented in the text as the "authority" for cbc & differential counts.
cardiac cycle - mechanical activity and blood flow http://www.thinkquest.org/library/we...a.html?c003758
outstanding resource for anatomy and physiology related to the cardiac cycle. i do not recommend viewing this with a dial-up connection, there are many large files and animations to run.
hyperheart 2 - from the university of utah medical school library http://medlib.med.utah.edu/kw/pharm/hyperheart2.htm
requires shockwave software download. be sure to stop the animation and go frame by frame for a more detailed explanation of events. this is a wonderful tool for "putting it all together" as it pertains to the cardiac cycle.
nervous system from uw-lacrosse http://bioweb.uwlax.edu/aplab/table_...07/lab_07.html
offers diagrams of brain and other nervous system models. excellent tutorial and pictures of sheep brains
blood types tutorial http://www.biology.arizona.edu/human...pes/intro.html
fromt the university of arizona. great tutorial, review of blood typing and genetics.
are you my blood type? game http://www.givelife2.org/games/matchgame.asp
from the american red cross. very catchy game to review blood donation rules. be sure to read the directions before you begin!
other ideas (posted in other threads):
- make your own flashcards!
- if you are not familiar with (or have forgotten) chem, check out an into to chemistry book
- utilize your school's study lab, or open lab times, if offered.
- take pictures during labs!
