  • PAL (Practice Anatomy Lab) is loaded with tutorials and quizzes.
    • These are available in CD format or online in MasteringA&P.
  • MasteringA&P has a variety of Chapter Quizzes that you can also try. I don’t have the ability to customize these, so you will find questions related to material that you’re not responsible for. Feel free to guess or skip those questions. Again, I don’t count those towards your grade.
    • Note: some of these may mix axial and appendicular bones.
