Description
What is "Case-Directed Anatomy Online"?

Case-Directed Anatomy Online is a complete, web-based self-study course in Gross Anatomy and Embryology that can be used on its own or in conjunction with its parent textbook, Gray's Anatomy for Students. It combines interactive content and assessment into one resource that can be used in the classroom, at home, or anywhere you can access the Internet. The structure of Case-Directed Anatomy Online parallels the organization of Gray's Anatomy for Students, with regionally oriented "chapters" divided into 77 short modules on individual topics. Each module begins with a clinical case and several questions to guide your study. Brief text in outline format is linked to a high-quality art program illustrating the relevant anatomical structures. Interactive exercises and self-assessment quizzes periodically test your understanding of the material. Videos demonstrate actual prosections performed on fresh cadavers.

Although this course stands on its own, it may be very helpful for you to have a copy of Gray's Anatomy for Students. (Churchill Livingstone/Elsevier, 2005; ISBN: 0-443-06612-4). This new textbook of anatomy, organized by body region, offers complete coverage of human anatomy for use with any type of curriculum - traditional, problem-based, or integrated. Chapters on the Back, Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis and Perineum, Upper Limb, Lower Limb, and Head and Neck provide general overviews of each area in discussion; detailed descriptions of regional anatomy using high-quality artwork and clinical imaging; surface anatomy related to clinical examination and procedures; clinical cases that relate anatomy to clinical disorders; and questions to test your understanding. An access code in the book also offers you full access to the online version of the text, with the ability to search, highlight, bookmark, add notes, and download images. The online text also offers a test bank of questions and interactive surface anatomy figures.
