I'm assuming your gross anatomy will have a lab portion. I attend DMU, but I think some of the concepts in studying the subject will probably extend to other schools as well.
A lot of second years recommended the dead book (I don't know the actual name off the top of my head) with pictures of perfectly dissected cadavers. This book was absolutely useless to me. It's nice to have pictures, but it's horribly organized and you'll spend about as long looking for a dissection with the structure you need as you will studying it's anatomical location.
I found Anatomy and Physiology Revealed to be a fantastic resource. Full body dissections of everything on your computer, and can be done layer by layer. It gives innervations, blood supply, actions of muscles. It shows nerves, muscles, lymphatics, blood vessels, glands, etc. By far the most useful resource I've found for any class since I've been at school.
