Rattling bones

Now that Halloween has passed, the neighborhood skeletons are back in their closets.

You have time to learn the names of the bones before they rattle their way out next year. We have access to two online skeletal resources which make it possible for our Anatomy and Physiology students to study bones anywhere and anytime.

ESkeletons,from the University of Texas at Austin, Department of Anthropology,"provides an interactive environment in which to examine and learn about skeletal anatomy. The purpose of this site is to enable you to view the bones of both human and non-human primates and to gather information about them from our osteology database." Access to this resource can be had through GALILEO.

CTC Library subscribes to Anatomy.TV which is a 3D anatomy resource. The Systemic Edition covers Skeletal, Muscular, Surface, Cardiovasular, and Lymphatic systems. Students do need the login and password for this resource off campus.

There is a difference between the two- ESkeletons has photographs of bones, Anatomy.TV has line drawings.

Between the resources, you can learn the names of the bones before they shake loose.
