Resources

Histology

Histology Handout		Lists the histology slides you are responsible for knowing in lab practical exams.
Labeled Histology Slides		Shows most of the slides you will need to know, with structures labeled.
Loyola University Histology Site		Excellent resource for further study of histology.

Laboratory Manual

These links provide important supplementary information to your lab manual.

Lab Manual Errors		Gives corrections to typographical errors in the current edition.
Muscle chapter from lab manual, 4e		PDF version of chapter 5 of the 4th edition of the lab manual (Fall 2007-). For students using an older edition, this includes important changes from the previous editions.
Origins, Insertions, and Actions of the intrinsic back muscles		PDF version of page 77, second table (last part of Origins, Insertions and Actions section in Chapter 5 of the 4th edition). Provides origins that are missing in the muscle chapter (it is incorrect both in the PDF provided above and in print).
Study questions: Digestive system		Due to a publisher error, this page was omitted from the 5th edition.
Artery Table		Gives the answers to the table on pp. 110-111 indicating the structures that each artery supplies blood to.
Cranial Nerves Table		Gives the answers to the table on p. 135 indicating the foramina, peripheral pathways, and functions of the cranial nerves.

Undergraduate Teaching Assistants

If you enjoyed Human Anatomy Lab and are interested in teaching it, you may be eligible to be a UGTA (undergraduate teaching assistant).

UGTA information

Provides basic information on becoming a human anatomy UGTA.

Cadavers

Occasionally, specific information about the cadavers will be provided in this section. This is occasionally necessary when a cadaver has numerous anomalies or shows evidence of extensive surgeries.

Visible Human Dissector

VH Dissector is a software program in which you can visualize and manipulate anatomical structures in three dimensions.

Accessing VH Dissector		Basic instructions for finding and using VH Dissector on campus.
VH Dissector Tutorial		A tutorial covering the main features of VH Dissector.

Anatomical Models

Models index page		Labeled photographs of the models used in this course.
Limb model keys: Upper limb 1, upper limb 2, lower limb 1, lower limb 2, lower limb 3		Official key of numbered structures on the upper and lower limb models.

Sample Exam Questions

TA Handouts

Handouts that individual TAs have provided to their sections are also included here so that all students in the course have access to them. Important disclaimer: Documents in this section have not been edited by the course coordinator or webmaster and may contain errors or irrelevant information, and may not be representative of expectations or typical questions on exams.
