New Interactive Anatomy Database!

We've just purchased a great, new, dynamic, interactive anatomy resource! It's called Interactive Functional Anatomy, 2nd Edition. If you're taking an anatomy course or need to brush up on your anatomy skills, you need this resource!

The main focus of Interactive Functional Anatatomy is the muscular system. You can click on parts of the body to read about their functions, zoom in and out, and add or take away layers of anatomy. There is even an option to quiz your understanding of anatomy! You can read more about it, but more importantly... try it out today!

Here's a screenshot from the resource:
