Leaving so soon?? If you are leaving in the next 10 seconds could you take 5 of those seconds to tell me what exactly you were looking for, or how I could improve this site for you?


We have now reached 30,000 visitors per month! Please ask or answer a question or improve a page. You can also edit pages without signing in or registering. Please help keep the site free of spam by checking the Updates. If you see something that does not belong, feel free to revert to a prior state. Have fun, play nicely, and LEARN ANATOMY!

This site began as a class project in summer 2008. You can browse, or you can participate. In Jan 2012 I decided to make it so anyone can edit freely. Please look at recent changes and if you notice vandalism you can help by reverting the page to an earlier state. If there is a big problem, email Kevin (the site creator). There is a "Getting Started" page and a "How To" page if you need help editing a wiki. Navigation is not the best--probably easiest to use the table of contents on this page to explore the site. If you have questions feel free to contact the site creator, Kevin Young.

If you find a useful resource, you can place a link to it on the Online Resources page (by the way, that will point you to many great resources--for a review of those resources check out thinkanatomy.com). You can find flash cards made by others or create your own at Flash Card Exchange. If you decide to create some flash cards, please post links to them on the appropriate pages. At the bottom of any page you can start a discussion thread, or go to the Discussions link to see what people are talking about.
