>On the left side of the screen you will see a small command menu. The normal setting has a vertical slider bar that will remove layers of anatomy until there is only the nervous system (skin -> muscles -> bones -> organs -> vascular, etc). Right below that there are two small icons: an oval with one horizontal slash and an oval with two vertical slashes. If you click on the one with two vertical slashes, you will be able to remove each layer independently and even set a transparency to them. That way you could remove the organs, skin, muscles, and everything to leave only bones. Or you could remove everything but muscles. The very top option lets you pick between male and female.
It can also be rotated in any direction. Hope this helps.
Good Grades, a Social Life, Enough Sleep: pick two.
Not shitting.
In all seriousness, your saving grace will be flashcards. Not just any flashcard sets that you find off of Quizlet, either: you have to make these yourself, and format them in a way that makes you ask "How could this be used as a question on the exam?". For every line of info that you read, there are at least two possible questions/flashcards that can be made from it.
For example, if your notes happen to say > Hematology is the study of blood.
You must assume that one of your exam questions will be either:
What is the study of blood? Hematology
Hematology is the study of ___? blood
Make flashcards like this for every single line of notes you are given. Again, every single line: never make the mistake of assuming that something's not going to be on the exam, because it fucking will be. It's time consuming, it's stressful, you'll hate the process, but it works.
For the lab portions, which is mostly just muscle/bone memorization, I would suggest getting acquainted with zygotebody.com.
Pick yourself up an atlas and work through trying to palpate landmarks on yourself and identifying methods for finding these. This coupled with a couple different online resources should help ya study up. My two favorite sites were Zygote body (kinda like google earth for the body), and Get body smart(has some different animations and some quizzes to help ya put it to memory)
Good luck! Hope that helps a little.

There is a UTF-8 encoded mesh format that's sometimes used in WebGL, developed by Google for the Zygote Body viewer. The format uses a few other clever tricks to compress the mesh data first.
Google body was amazing and wonderful (and free)....unfortunately its been bought out and hasn't relaunched yet. Here is the future site. I'm hoping it is just as good. zygotebody
Well, there used to be the google body browser. It was great, however it seems to have disappeared from the google labs website. I guess they've dropped it. Surfing to the url brings you to another site now. Big bummer to let it go offline...
I have, Muscles: Testing and Function, with Posture and Pain. And think it is a very good book, will recomment it. http://www.visiblebody.com/index.html is also worth a look, they got great informative apps. But can start with http://www.zygotebody.com/ and anatomyzone (youtube channel). thats free :)
first, learn muscle stretches. Learn what muscles are being stretched and then you'll know what they are on your body.
You'll find out how complex your calf muscles actually are.
See here for a great 3d anatomy exploration application
In the end, the best way to avoid injury is to run more at lower speed. And cross training (like riding a bike or swimming to build up other muscles)
I'll throw this out there: your chest might not be behind.
The place where your clavicles meet, at the top of your sternum, is pretty much devoid of superficial muscle. Check out Zygote Body, for instance.
Also, a lot of guys really overdevelop their chest: the old school bodybuilders, for instance, have much smaller chests than most do today. If you want a big chest: cool. But in terms of pec strength being imbalanced, you might not be far off.
