schmitty Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I am very interested in anatomy, so I figure I might as well casually learn some while I wait to hear about med school interviews. What are some great (preferably free) resources to get started with gross anatomy? I TAed histology and histopathology for 3 years so I am very familiar with that and basic macro-anatomy, but much of the detail eludes me. I have started watching a great series of human dissections on YouTube, but am looking for some other resources. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkstore Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 If you have chrome, this app is awesome (biodigital human): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/anatomy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I will play around with it. I actually found a great professional anatomy suite through U of T available to staff (me) and students. It is great ebcause of the amazing 3D models, but also you can view them side-by-side their real MRI counterparts. Very cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very neat to play around with though. BTW< this is the website that has the extremely detailed models and radiology - http://www.anatomy.tv/default.aspx ...maybe some other University's offer access other than U of T.

Oh, if you are a student, try this link: http://www.anatomy.tv.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/new_home.aspx?S=FPDDNCMCLCAGNA00&ReturnUrl=ovidweb.cgi& It may ask for your UTORid/PW....it didn't for me, but I'm using campus internet from my office.

The further you zoom in in that app the more detailed it is, but it's still not great in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Well that sucks, apparently access is only this week as a preview from Gerstein :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkstore Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 What your thing or mine? By the way in case you haven't realized yet, you click on body parts in biodigital to learn about them. PROTIP: try turning off skeletal system and turning on cardiovascular I changed my mind it is pretty detailed if you zoom in and click on stuffs.

schmitty Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Haha...nevermind! That U of T resource is good for as long as you have a UTORid...miscommunication with Gerstein. Wow, and I just found this amazing resource for U of T as well - Anatomy Lib Guide http://guides.library.utoronto.ca/content.php?pid=129935&sid=1114515 It pays to have a librarian wife :-) Turns out I answered my own question, lol.

benhc911 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 while it might be high level you can always go with an anatomy atlas like netter's, since that is what you will likely be using in medschool... or you can use the macAnatomy lectures http://macanatomy.mcmaster.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=23&Itemid=172 or you can get some anatomy and physiology etc from Dr. Najeeb videos (he's pretty good at explaining things and makes great diagrams), the Kaplan videos, or Kahn Academy videos http://www.khanacademy.org/science/healthcare-and-medicine Of course its all going to depend on how you learn best, lectures, slides, textbooks, interactive models, flashcards etc... Pick what you know and go with it, then keep going once you hit medschool. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
