9/2010 – 12/2010
Please note that contact
lenses are NOT permitted in the lab. Bring you regular glasses to lab.
An issue with Gross
Anatomy is not that you do not have enough resources but you have TOO MANY resources.
Before you go out and buy everything in sight, go through this list carefully
and buy the essential items first. You can always pick up more items as time
goes by.
The Health Science
Bookstore on campus is a branch of Barnes and Noble. You can order on line and
have the books held for you in our bookstore. This saves you the hassles of
bringing these heavy items with you. Use the following URL when ordering:
http://www.whywaitforbooks.com
then follow the links: State / School / Health
Science Campus / Course etc.

words which were derived from Greek and Latin.

Board Review Books
A number of Board Review
books are available in the Book Store. They are good only after you have

REQUIRED LAB SUPPLIES
Please note that contact
lenses are NOT permitted in the lab. Bring you regular glasses to lab.
Each Student Is required to have the following:
Lab coats, or
scrubs, clean at all times.
Rubber gloves (latex or synthetic).
One good-quality plastic skull. Osteology questions are common in exams. The bookstore has
good skulls made in Germany by the Somso Company. About $160 each. This skull
has about 85-90% of the structure you need to know. This item does not ship
well, order it on-line and pick it up on campus.
Do NOT buy a cheap one on e-Bay.
Natural bone skulls are
about $400-$500 each.
Goggles or protective glasses. You can use the ones from Dental
Anatomy class.
NEW, CLEAN, UNMARKED Clipboard (non-transparent) for exam
taking. You cannot bring a transparent clipboard or a clipboard with markings,
designs, printings, ads etc. into the exam! Inexpensive ones available in our
bookstore.
Per Small Group
In the lab you will be working in small groups.
Dissecting instruments
(there is a supply of used ones in the lab.)
Members of the group should chip in and share the
expenses of the following:
Scalpel blades: some#10 and some #22. They fit different blade handles in the lab.
These need to be changed regularly. Buy them at the Book Store.
At least one atlas (from those listed above) that
is in good shape. Atlases with missing pages are not acceptable. This ‘dirty
copy’ does not leave the lab. Write the table number on the edges of the atlas.
If it ‘walks away’ in the lab, you can relocate it.
Instructions for dissection ---- this can be a
printed copy from our On-line Dissector from TUSK, or a copy of Tanks’s Grant’s
Dissector.
All of the books and
supplies are available through our bookstore.
Students may purchase
these items from other sources of their own choice.
Locker Assignment
Each student has been
assigned a locker for his or her personal use during the course. These lockers
MUST be vacated by December 17th, 2010. The campus security will cut locks and
dispose of the contents of the lockers that are not emptied out.
You need to supply your
own lock.
Suggestion: get a
combination lock which you can set your own combinations. Less chance of having
to ask Security to cut your lock because you forgot the combination (happens
every year!)
Please note that contact
lenses are NOT permitted in the lab. Bring you regular glasses to lab.
