Does it really matter if I get the 11th, 12th, or 13th edition of Grant's dissector? The required one is the 13th, but will the older edition be just as useful? Same question for biochemistry and physiology books.

I can't say if it's true for the others, but I have an older edition of the Grant's dissector (I think I have the 12th) and it's fine. Nothing really changes except for maybe a few diagrams here and there.

i think the 12th is colored also, as long as you have the colored version, it should be fine. sorry i cann't remember, been almost two years now

an excellent exhibit called "BODIES" is available here in Seattle, and in other parts of the country also. I'd recommend you go to view it, several medical students who have already done so claim they learned more at the 1 hr exhibit then in any anatomy class they've taken.

i believe the website for tix is at BODIES...The Exhibition (http://www.bodiestickets.com)

An older grant's dissector should not be a problem as was mentioned above. I don't believe that an older physiology book should be a problem as the field of physiology does not change much. An older or out of date biochem book could present a problem as discoveries are being made constantly and you would want yourt biochem book to be as up to date as possible.

this website is better than grant's disscector Human Anatomy (http://ect.downstate.edu/courseware/haonline/index.htm)

real pictures of actual bodies, not artist conceptions

as far as biochem, the book isn't necessary... departmental handout for smallanoff and class lectures for everyone else are more than adequate...

if you really are having trouble understanding something, they have tons of biochem books in the library, including lipincotts, harper's illustrated (a personal favorite of mine), and many others...

Someone needs to dig up the link to the UofMichigan's Anatomy website. It's a free question bank, awesome!

These were all I could find:

This will help for neuroanatomy:
Splash Page (http://www9.biostr.washington.edu/cgi-bin/DA/PageMaster?atlas:Neuroanatomy+ffpathIndex:Splash^P age+2)

This will help for gross anatomy:
Digital Anatomist Interactive Atlases (http://www9.biostr.washington.edu/da.html)

Good luck

NetAnatomy.com (http://www.netanatomy.com) as well... lots of radiographs / MRIs on there, the rest of the stuff isn't so useful
