Normal Body Review Material

The Final Exam and Practical for Microscopic Anatomy will be Wednesday, December 17 from 9:10 AM to noon. The multiple choice portion of the exam will cover material from October 28th through December 3rd. The practical exam will cover all slide material presented in the course. To help you prepare for this exam, there will be a Review Lab from 10:10 to noon on Thursday, December 11. During this lab your instructor will review material from the entire course as well as answer any questions that you have.

In addition, listed below are several different tools available for individual or small group review. We do NOT want to overwhelm you, so please just use the items that are helpful for your review for the Practical Exam. We suggest that a good review exercise is to try to identify unknown organs from the resources listed below while writing down the key structural characteristics of each organ. Working with a colleague can be helpful. Ask your instructor for help if you have trouble with identifications.
