Interactive Human Anatomy was designed as an informative, clinical focused, student-interactive e-book. The e-book includes content on 10 of the organ systems (excluding Integumentary), clinical relevance, and interactive student labeling diagrams. It was developed for students to engage in content during lecture with the ability for the student to manually label diagrams and fill in tables to improve the overall understanding and retention. Students and instructors are also able to interact with multiple choice or true/false questions at the end of each chapter to determine baseline knowledge and retention of content.
Interactive Human Anatomy was also created to introduce students to the relevance of human anatomy to clinical pathologies and diagnoses. Throughout the e-book, the reader will find several “Did you Know” boxes that will permit the reader to correlate the content to pathological diseases or conditions. In addition, the e-book contains a chapter in functional anatomy to outline and label diagrams related to human movement and the associated involved joints. Finally, the e-book concludes with several case studies that students will be able to conceptualize content and discuss orally or through written format to assist with bridging the gap between course content and medicine.
