Practice Anatomy Lab is an interactive, visually-engaging study and lab assessment tool that gives students 24/7 access to a rich array of anatomy lab specimens including human cadavers, anatomical models, histology slides, cat dissections, and fetal pig dissections. PAL includes hundreds of images and quiz questions as well as interactive tools for reviewing the specimens and taking practice quizzes and simulated lab practical exams.

Features include:

Rich variety of quizzes that test students’ recall of anatomical structures as well as their understanding of functional anatomy and clinical application

Built-in audio pronunciation of hundreds of key anatomical terms

Gradable lab practical exams

PAL includes one module on each of the following lab specimens:

• Human cadaver
• Anatomical models
• Histology
• Cat
• Fetal Pig

The cat module includes images of sheep heart in the cardiovascular system and images of sheep brain and cow eye in the nervous system.

Each of the five modules includes:

Self-Review allows students to:

• review the names of structures by rolling over an image with the mouse
• see the outlines of structures by rolling over hotspots with the mouse

• turn labels on and off

Self-Study Quizzing lets students:

• quiz themselves on knowledge of anatomical structures and understanding of functional anatomy
• get immediate feedback to their answers

Lab Practical Exams
