 Anatomy
 
A companion series for the PATTS Certificate Program, the anatomy descriptions cover "Significant Body Systems" -- those most relevant to your studies in assistive technology.
 
Introduction
Just how much anatomy do you have to know? Obviously not enough to qualify you as a physician, but certainly enough to discuss your cases, not only with physicians and other healthcare professionals, but your patients as well. 

Each site includes easy-to-understand explanations, many graphics to illustrate concepts, and links to learn more.  Use them for your studies. Use them as references for your patients. Use them to discover how much the Web offers to those who love to learn.

Featured Sites
The PATTS anatomy series, "Significant Body Systems," links into two excellent interactive learning tools: InnerBody.com and J. Crimando's Anatomy and Physiology Tutorials. Both designs display information (text, images, or links) when you move the mouse over an image. But there are some usage differences:

InnerBody instructionsAs you roll the mouse over an image, diamond-shaped "Pick Points" appear where you can view more information. If you see an eye glass icon next to the text description, click it to display another image.

Anatomy and Physiology Tutorials
Instructions for using Crimado's tutorialsThese excellent reviews and quizzes were originally designed for students taking BIO 201 at Maricopa. At these sites, when you roll the mouse over an image, highlighted regions appear that you are to identify. To check your answer, you click on the original image and the correct answer appears.

Graphics note:  According to Paolo Giovi, da Vinci's first biographer: "In the medical faculty he learned to dissect the cadavers of criminals  ... because he wanted [to examine and] to draw the different deflections and reflections of limbs and their dependence upon the nerves and the joints. This is why he paid attention to the forms of even very small organs, capillaries and hidden parts of the skeleton."
