Bones of the Human Body Loyola University's Medical Education site is perfect for learning all of the anatomical names associated with the human skeleton. The Bone Box will teach all that you wish to learn. The list of bones to be learned is here.

Look here for more digital pictures of the skeleton labeled and usable. You can also test your knowledge of the skeleton.

Use the Oral Bone List as your guide.

-Always use your Chapter Objectives as your directive to the homework. Keep a copy on the desktop, or a hardcopy, and fill in the information needed to meet the objective.

-Do the reading and study exactly as it is described in the SQ4R procedure. Do not cheat on this you're only hurting yourself!

-After using the Internet resources, and answering what you can of your objectives, complete the homework assignments listed below. Copy and past your objectives into your word processor. Cut and paste text, and graphics, from the online activities to make yourself a document that you can use in your study group.

Ask questions in class about any of the Objectives that you could not answer. You must take responsibility for being as prepared for the exam as you can possibly be. I will help where I can, but I can't do much if I don't know what your problems are. You must study until you are capable of determining if you need help.

Get a study group together !

Being able to ask questions and reciting with other students can make all of the difference in your mastery of the material. A group that can meet face-to-face is the best situation, but if that can be arranged then creating your own group blog is the next best thing. Click on the Blogger Start link. If you use Instant Messenger, that's wonderful. Whatever will get you into a group, do it! Get your Study Group members to register and you have a way of communicating so that on the night before the night before the exam you RECITE orally, or write, the answers to the objectives with the group not using your notes. This will be the final confirmation that you know the material and are ready to take the examination. If you are still not ready for the exam, at least you have one more day to prepare.

Follow this procedure with each of the Chapters assigned.

The next activity requires Shockwave Plug-in
1. COPY and PASTE the Objectives for Examination #1 onto a page in your word processing program. With the information from classroom lectures and the links to the internet, fill in the objective sheet. The Objective sheet will be your study guide for the first exam.

2. Use the Infrastructure and Geography Notes and Anatomy and Physiology Tutorials to learn the structure and function of the human body. Find the antomical structures and their functions that are listed in your objectives and notes.

3. Label the Anatomical Graphics provided in the in-class Power Point package to use as a study aid. These same graphics will be used as part of the examination during testing.

4. Use Virtual Autopsy to learn the structure and function of the human body.

5. Post Mortem Changes and the Time of Death
