Human Anatomy
Choose Your Format
The lecture manual provides you with an outline of the lectures and other supplementary information to guide your study of human anatomy. Recent research on learning demonstrates that students who take notes by handwriting them learn better than students who do not, or than those who take notes digitally. A study in the journal Psychological Science showed that using pen and paper, not laptops, to take notes boosts memory and the ability to retain and understand concepts. This is one of many recent studies on learning and improving memory. This lecture manual is designed to facilitate the learning process by providing the key terminology, the necessary illustrations, and an easy-to-follow outline that works hand-in-hand with the multimedia lecture presentations that accompany the course. Once again, it is not intended to be a textbook — it is a lecture manual. As such, it provides you with clear outlines and all the key terminology to help reduce frantic note taking, but it also provides space for you to add notes from the lecture presentations. As the research has clearly demonstrated, note taking, as long as it is not too frantic, helps you become more of an active participant in the lecture and not just a passive observer. Experience has shown that this helps improve concentration and focus during the lecture, so you can maximize your learning potential.
The study guide and workbook are designed to accompany the Human Anatomy Lecture Manual and your course of study in both lecture and the laboratory. If used properly it will be a powerful learning tool to guide your study of anatomy. It consists of three parts — a study guide to help you reinforce material covered in the appendicular and axial skeletal labs, exercises to help you reinforce the anatomy covered in the skeletal labs and the lectures, and a pelvic model to help you learn the anatomy of the pelvic region. I strongly suggest that you use this book daily. Each of the exercise chapters has a variety of questions intended to make you think about and review your knowledge of the material covered in the lecture portion of the course. You should complete the exercises each day after studying the related material from the lectures. This will help you to reinforce your knowledge and evaluate your learning progress. Students who diligently utilize this manual on a daily basis will be more likely to succeed in the course. The study guide chapters are designed to help you learn the bones of the skeleton. The lectures do not cover the bones of the skeleton; hence, this is something you will do in the laboratory. The study guide chapters will help you prepare for the skeletal labs. The skeletal labs are an important part of the course.
