Clinical Human Anatomy

RESOURCES FOR LEARNING

Books:

Required Texts (n=2):

Clinically Oriented Anatomy: 5^th Edition, Moore and Dalley.
Atlas of Human Anatomy, F.H. Netter, 4^th Edition. Most students purchase this atlas. They find an atlas to be a useful aid and a valuable addition to their medical personal reference library. An atlas and a dissection manual are expected to be at each dissection table for each required laboratory session.

Recommended Texts:

Note: A hard copy of the dissector will be in the laboratory at each cadaveric table.
Manual of Human Dissection, Rarey, K.E., Romrell, L.J., Pawlina, W. and Rosenberg, J.R. This is the recommended dissector. To benefit most from the laboratory dissection, each student is expected to read the dissecting assignment prior to the laboratory period.

It is recommended that students have access to an embryology text.

Human Embryology, Larsen, W.J., Churchill Livingstone, 3rd edition.
OR, Langman's Medical Embryology, Sadler, Thomas, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 8th edition OR, The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, Moore, Keith, Schmitt, William, T.V. N Persaud, W.B. Saunders 6th Edition
Clinical Human Embryology, Rarey, K.E. and Romrell, L.J., available on-line
A Guide to Physical Examination & History Taking, Bates, B. This is a reference text for your learning of human anatomy.

It is suggested that students have a medical dictionary.

Laboratory
Students are required to purchase a new white lab coat at the beginning of the course, and maintain it during the course.

COMPUTER PROGRAMS, DISSECTION FILMS & ON-LINE SITES:

Several computer programs will be available to students both in the gross anatomy laboratories at the designated times and in the student’s MDL. Such programs are to serve in the learning of human anatomy.

The Human Anatomy program has been designed to facilitate your study and learning of human anatomy. The program has a manual of dissection unit and an assessment and feedback unit. A practical anatomy graded exercise has been formulated for each unit of study.

The embryology software program, Clinical Human Embryology, is also available. It consists of animated segments to provide visual information about given developmental processes. Students are encouraged to review the appropriate sequences.

Students in past classes also have found audio-film tapes of human dissections to be useful for review purposes. Three sets of these films are available for use in the Student Study Center and may be checked out at the reserve desk on the second floor of the Library.

Listed below are selected websites for gross anatomy and embryology. Information at these sites may be helpful in the learning of these subjects. However, you are responsible for identifying any discrepancies between this information and that listed in our course Syllabus and the required textbook. The course Syllabus and the required textbook are the final authorities for the purpose of this course.
