NE A&P Resources
These resources are tailored to students taking BIOL 2401 (Anatomy and Physiology I) and BIOL 2402 (Anatomy and Physiology II) on the Northeast Campus. If you are taking an A&P course elsewhere at TCC, visit the Learning Commons Science Support page to access general resources and resources specific to your campus. Are there additional resources that you'd like to see here? Contact us and let us know!

Angela's Corner: recommendations from our most experienced A&P tutor
- YouTube channels to check out
- The Amoeba Sisters Links to an external site.: dedicated to demystifying concepts in biology and life sciences, including many A&P topics. Videos are easy-to-understand breakdowns of various topics using simple, clear animations to illustrate them.
- Carla Sweet Links to an external site.: an anatomy professor uses the 3d4medical.com software to illustrate her explanations. Excellent content, particularly her tutorials on muscles and bones.
- Bozeman Science Links to an external site.: compact video segments with wonderful illustrations and very clear explanations.
- Anatomy quizzes
- Free Anatomy Quiz Links to an external site.: quiz yourself on both anatomy and physiology topics. Also includes brief articles on various concepts for self-testing and a directory of word roots for medical and anatomical terminology.
- Anatomy Project Links to an external site.: a selection of labeling quizzes for the skull, vertebral column, and lower limb.
Miscellaneous
- How to be successful in A&P I Links to an external site.: a presentation by Dr. Lynn Gargan
BIOL 2402: A&P II
Angela's Corner: recommendations from our most experienced A&P tutor
- YouTube channels to check out
- Dr. Dan's Anatomosphere Links to an external site.: created and run by Dr. O'Connell, one of our A&P II coordinators here on TCC's Northeast Campus. His channel is full of lecture material, useful reviews for your midterm and lab practical exams, and other topical videos including rat dissections, model reviews, and histology.

On Campus Resources
This is a representative list of physical resources available for students to check out and use while at the SLC on the NE campus. Note that resources checked out from the SLC must be returned before you leave; we do not loan items like a library does, but you are welcome to stay and use them as long as you want. If you are looking for a specific resource that is not listed here or have suggestions for additional resources, do not hesitate to contact us.
Models
We have over 100 different anatomical models available on display for BIOL 2401 and BIOL 2402 students to study. Models are added and rotated weekly according to the current course topics. Studying for your A&P lab? Many of our models are identical to those used in A&P lab courses on NE campus, and they are available to you whenever we are open.
Microscopes and Slides
Need some help finding your way around a microscope? Struggling to focus and falling behind in your lab? Come practice at the SLC! Outside of your lab, the SLC is the only place on the NE campus where you can practice your hands-on microscope skills. Ask to check out a slide box—it contains all of the same microscope slides that you study in class, and there's no limit to how long or how often you can use them.
Books and Media
We have physical copies of all textbooks currently used in A&P courses on the NE campus, as well as numerous other textbooks, study guides, solution manuals, and reference materials. This list is not comprehensive. If you are looking for a specific book and do not see it here, we may still have it; feel free to contact us to find out.
