A & P Surfing
We all use the internet for many of our resources these days. However, there is so much out there it can help to start with a few pointers. Here are some sites for good places to visit, good web resources, links to other colleagues and educational organisations and some other random things we have stumbled across!
Good Web RESOURCES
- The older version of Grays Anatomy on line: www.bartleby.com/107/ (not the new one edited by Prof. Susan Strandring - not yet anyway!)
- Examples of anatomical variations: www.virtualhospital.com
- Anatomical Line drawings: sign up for free and get access to line drawings that you can label and re-label to your heart's content!
- Anatomy on the Internet directory of other sites, especially university ones
- The Biology Project lots of tutorials and quizzes especially on aspects of biochemistry & genetics - University of Arizona
- Dictionary of Cell Biology Computer Assisted Assessment: questions on different topics
- Some digital exhibits from the Science Museum's Who Am I gallery that are available online; see an introduction to genes, reproduction and the brain

Good places to VISIT
Keep building your knowledge in different ways: we recommend a visit to the Royal College of Surgeons Museum, or Hunterian Museum- Or the Old Operating Theatre Museum (small but interesting!)
