ALL LAB TOPICS
Comprehensive List of Anatomy Study Resources: The lab aides and instructors have created LOTS of study resources for you, and now they’re all organized and available in one place, HERE. Here’s a short video to show you how to use this fantastic tool. (lab aide created)

  • Don’t forget that your (new) textbook comes with a subscription and access code to Anatomy and Physiology Revealed, a virtual cadaver dissection experience. Look in the end pages of your text for access or go here. If you have a used text, you can buy access.
  • A resource available through our SLCC Library, Anatomy TV, a digital study tool. 
  • Check the ANATOMY LINKS for online sites that provide review diagrams, tutorials, etc. that can be used to prepare at home for the laboratory practical exams.
  • If you’d like a quality, inexpensive Human Anatomy Atlas, consider this one. We have some of these in the labs so you can look through and see if you’d like to purchase one.
  • SLCC Anatomy has a Quizlet (lab aide created)
  • Online Tutorials for Laboratory Practical Review (username: slcc  password: anatomy)
  • Helpful online tutorials and quizzes are available at Kenhub.com
  • If you’d like some extra practice, consider P.A.L. 3.0. It’s an online site with histology photos, cadaver photos, model photos (each labeled and unlabeled). It has quizzing and fill-in-the-blank practical-type tests. You can do a tour if you’re interested in checking it out before purchasing. Alternately, there is a DVD available here.
