Anatomy the bugbear of every Medical student-some useful material

 Four decades ago when I was in  Second year of Medical school  dissecting  human body, having  all  sorts of  Human Bones ( every one was supposed to buy a complete skeleton/of course we  got  bits and pieces donated by seniors) Where professors used to toss  an odd carpal bone  on the table and  expected us to orient it  correctly  and  tell all the   muscle attachments  ossification centers  and  surface anatomy in detail  before  we  could  pass the  exam.

many a student who could have made a good doctor was failed because of some simple and  thinking now, a silly mistake.

i wish we had  Internet in those days now you have fantastic animations which describe details of anatomy which  is unsurpassed.

Recently I came across this website  which  is  an excellent  free resource for anatomy students  and  a good reference for  practicing physicians who want to refresh their memory
