Gross Anatomy Links


LINKS COMPILED and ANNOTATED by Dr David L. Dawson.


http://mywebpages.comcast.net/wnor/homepage.htm
Not what I would consider outstanding, but it IS useful.

http://www.informatics.sunysb.edu/anatomy/clinical.html
Very Good! Clinical information to accompany an Anatomy Textbook by Stern. No pictures, but it does have some valuable, clinically relevant information.

http://anatome.ncl.ac.uk/tutorials/disclaimer.html
Dissection photos and diagrams. This is an SSM project form Newcastle. Pictures are not terribly impressive, but the site does have some very useful bits of information for medical students.

http://www.bartleby.com/107/indexillus.html
The 1918 edition of Gray's Anatomy. Many of the illustrations are not only useful, but are beautiful as well. Some differences in terminology, and this can be a bit confusing.

http://www.geocities.com/Elizabeth_Bauer_2000/2bones.html
Labelled photographs of the skeleton. BASIC landmarks, etc. labelled.

http://www.vh.org/Providers/Textbooks/AnatomicVariants/AnatomyHP.html
SUPER site! All you ever wanted to know about variations in Anatomy. It is available ONLY on-line.

http://www.uni-mainz.de/FB/Medizin/Anatomie/workshop/Vokabular/Start.html
Okay, but not outstanding. An on-line dictionary of terms used in Gross Anatomy. Gives Latin word, German word, English word, and a definition. I prefer Stedman's Dictionary.

http://www.cid.ch/DAVID/Mainmenu.html
Useful, good site! An on-line atlas of CT and MRI Images.

http://www.technion.ac.il/medicine/Students/Mnemonics.htm
Can be a useful site for memory aids for anatomy, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, and clinical medicine.
HOWEVER, a word of caution!!!- Anatomy mnemonics (at least) often are quite rude, so if you are easily offended, this site is not for you!

http://www.ttuhsc.edu/courses/cbb/ha/index.htm
An on-line Dissector (laboratory guide), with labelled photos, step-by-step illustrated instructions for dissection, and "spot practical examinations" (quizzes). Could be helpful prior to coming to the DR, and as a revision aid.

http://medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/HISTHTML/ANATOMY/ANATOMY.html
This will make you think! Anatomy Quizzes (both identification and correlation-type) are based on cross-sectional anatomy.

http://rad.usuhs.mil/
Good site for imaging studies. Look at MS-1 Anatomy, then scroll down to Supplemental teaching materials.

http://anatomy.uams.edu/htmlpages/anatomyhtml/medcharts.html
Ho-Hum!! Site is entitled Anatomy Tables, and I don't especially care for tables. However, some people find them useful.

http://anatomy.uams.edu/htmlpages/anatomyhtml/gross_atlas.html
On-line Photographic Atlas. Not bad, but pardon my prejudices - I don't like photographic atlases

http://www.vh.org/Providers/Textbooks/HumanAnatomy/CrossSectionAtlas.html
Excellent photos of cross-sections, and it looks like EVERYTHING imaginable is labelled.

http://www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/MedEd/GrossAnatomy/
A VERY useful site. I especially like the LUMEN Dissector, and would look at it prior to a practical session. It give a preview of what to look for.
LUMEN Learn'Em is okay, but I think it is a bit over the top.
Cross-sectional Tutorial is outstanding, and the Master Muscle list is quite helpful too.

http://www.med.umich.edu/lrc/coursepages/M1/anatomy/html/home.html
A GOOD, complete site. I think the following sections could be very useful:
1. Clinical cases
5. Surface Anatomy
2. Dissection videos (take a long time, though)
6. Anatomy Images
3. Anatomy Tables (I don't like Tables!!!)
7. Radiology Images
4. Learning modules (really good!!)
8. Practice Quizzes

http://calloso.med.mun.ca/~tscott/first.htm
A systematic review, and basically lecture notes with line drawings. Somewhat interactive. Not too impressive.

http://www.fleshandbones.com/
Hey! - look at this site. It's got some good revision quizzes in anatomy and histology, physiology, and etc. Images come from books flogged by the company, and are easily visible with a "watermark" on them. If I want to download them, I'll end up paying; I don't know what happens for students. You have to register.

http://www.medicalmnemonics.com/
Another Mnemonics site, just as rude and politically incorrect as the other listed. So, again beware if you are easily offended.

http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/omd/
A medical dictionary. I prefer Stedman's but this could be useful to some, and it is more than just anatomy!

If you find other useful sites, please let me know. We'll add to the list.
