Micro made ridiculously simple.

Histo: I spent hours on the web looking at tons of slides that had a key.

 

[Iquitos]

So far:
Netter
RR Path
Wheater's if you need help in histology

Everything else-Wikipedia

 

[Iquitos]

Wheaters sp? is definitley the best histo book I have seen. It is a combined atlas/text with great pics. This site can be very helpful as well:

BEST:
1) Netters CARDS -didn't even bother with text
2) First Aid
3) Savarese

Worst:
1) Foundations of Osteo... - I only own this big green monster for tradition...and as a formidible weapon when the zombies arise.
2) Guyton - I'm pretty sure that everyone gets a copy of this entering the 7th ring of Hell

This book is a classic....don't be dumb and not buy/use it. (including for boards)
also...FIRST AID 2008-Never too early to start. Follow along with you class work and add your own notes so when it comes down to board study, you have all you need and you can kill the exam. Just my 2 cents.

Anything useful for embryology, or will the course packet and the internet be sufficient?

I only ask because I am told that this will be in my first semester (I think we're actually on trimesters)

Larsen's Human embryology is a great embryo text book. I wouldn't waste my money on it though. Just use class notes/lectures/internet/books checked out from library to learn embryo. It is not that high yield of a subject.

 

[Milamber]

Rohen's.
BRS Phys
Goljan Path

And a whole host of internet web sites - specifically ones for histology.

What histology websites would you recommend?

I've skimmed through the micro made ridiculously easy, and that is a pretty sweet book. Some of the cartoons are hard to forget.

I think that might be the first time I've heard great and embryo used in the same sentence.

I have decided to buy netter's, rohen's, BRS anatomy and physiology and Lippincott biochem. Am i missing something?

The best person to answer that is probably an upperclassmen at your particular school.

I think micro made ridiculously simple is a good resource, but has anyone else noticed that Edition 4's index does not match up with any of the pages? It's pretty annoying.
