Anatomically Correct??

Amz

Im preparing a class presentation for Anatomy and was wondering if there are any good sites where i can find decent diagrams and accurate information.

These sites would preferably be free to access etc as I'm a poor student and cant afford to pay for my info etc hehe!

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Victor

Go to google, select images and then search for the particular body part you are immediatly interested in. I should bring up some good sites for all the other body parts.

Amz

Thanks Victor I shall try that!

Just a quick question.....
Im not sure if you're familiar with Alta Vista but is that a decent search engine or would i be better sticking with Google?

Gordon

I use Altavista for wild card searching ie if I don't know how to spell something I'll type splungifabricatio* when I want to find a splungifabricationator.

Otherwise Google is as good as most, I find, although it loads faster.

Amz

Thanks Gordon!

I might just use AltaVista if I'm stuck hehe! Google sounds better anyway....
Meh!

I've found a few diagrams of the gastrocnemius now which is pretty good....

Now to figure out how to make acetates.....
Have two weeks so will use this time wasting oppertunity to the fullest...

Gordon

For acetates just take the printout to a printing shop and they will do it for you. Otherwise buy some acetates and put them into a photocopier and photocopy them from the printout.

Ahh yes, the Gastrocnemius - another word that sounds made up but actually isn't. Just like my splungifabricationator.

I am the Queen of "Makey Upey" words such as

Triangley
Reptard
Ach-a-nee-nore

The Amz Dictionary of Makey Upey words is available at the side of most major roads.
Now available the just fell off the back of a lorry edition with easy to use colour layout....

(I should really increase the dosage at this stage i think?!)

amen

if you are going to photocopy acetates make sure that they are photocopy suitable.

some are not and will melt in the photocopier
same with laser printers

Amz

That's good to know amen thanks!

Knowing me id probably melt the feckin things and have the photocopier explode.....

Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner, dunno if its too late.

I use
http://www.angelfire.com/md2/liaquatian/books.htm

Specifically you want Gray' Anatomy
which is the bible among the medical profession.

Its linked off the page but also at

bah you and your virtual stuff.

Its actually mad that an engraved-print book from 1918 is still the internationally preferred anatomy text book.

Amz

I owe ye!

That virtual stuff is cool.

The definitive text of Anatomy, Gray's is available online via Yahoo! compeltely free of charge but isn't the best for diagrams...
