Ligament: strong band of connective tissue that connects one bone to another. Tendon: strong band of connective tissue that connects a muscle group to a bone. Cartilage: in the context of orthopedics, this is generally a bearing surface. Retinaculum: connective tissue, which in orthopedics helps keep a certain structure in place. Proximal: closest to the person's torso Distal: furthest from the person's torso. Brachial Plexus > Brachial plexus - Draw It To Know It. Browse by Category. McMurtrie's Human Anatomy Coloring ...

Anatomy and Physiology Links

I've tried (and am still trying) to assemble as many useful and helpful links as possible. A&P is a science of both volume as well as understanding and as such, requires a large time commitment. Hopefully, the items here will aid your studying and provide assistance in your quest to master the material. Good Luck! The following links and activities are organized by system. Links for Anatomy and Physiology I Skeletal System The Axial Skeleton From UW-L, this site has multiple images and views of the bones that compose the axial skeleton. Links for Anatomy and Physiology II Cardiovascular System Photos of Cat Dissection and Sheep Heart Very nice site from Penn State University.
