Human Anatomy Study Resources

Here is a collection of study resources for students of Human Anatomy.  Nothing special, I just did some Google searches and have compiled a handy list for you.  Best wishes on your studies!

Bones & Joints
Multiple choice bony landmark practice, by placing labels on the appropriate spots on the diagram.  Explore the rest of the website for other good study helps.

Bony landmark practice, type in answers and get them checked (note this program does not add the correct parent terms such as "greater tubercle of the humerus", so remember to say/ think them to yourself to avoid bad habits!)

Muscles
This actually has bones, joints, muscles, and more.  If you get to a view of a region of the body you can look at the bones, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves for that region with one click.

Rock Canyon Revisited

I went to a church today that was really close to one of my favorite new places I discovered/ was introduced to in 2011- Rock Canyon (just east of the Provo LDS temple).  I decided to head up there and collect some tintic quartzite because I love that rock.  It's what makes Rock Canyon so interesting and beautiful.  There's a little cave up there too that is severely chemically weathered (by water) - the rock is so soft you can just flake it off by rubbing your fingers across it.  Here are some pictures I took in 2011.

Tintic quartzite

Cool tintic quartzite rocks jutting out of the mountainside

Vertical joints (faults) in the rock (this rock bed used to be horizontal layered sediments and has now been tilted slightly more than 90 degrees).  Limestone I believe.

Tintic quartzite in cave, and I think the black is an organic growth (lichens maybe?)
