HELPFUL FOR DISSECTION!
1. McMinn’s and Abrahams’ Clinical Atlas of Human Anatomy
• Photos of structures as seen on the preserved cadaver
• Digital copy is enough, no need to buy physical copy
2. Aclands Anatomy Videos (Youtube)
• Good to watch before dissection to know what you’re looking for
• Also good to watch when reviewing for lab exams (which is 90% identification of
structures)
McMinn’s
Acland’s Anatomy Videos
HISTOLOGY
Digital copies are recommended for zooming into photos.
1. Ross & Pawlina Histology
• Dr. Mantaring’s preferred reference (she’ll be teaching most of the histology lectures)
• Excellent reference with high yield discussions!
2. Wheater’s Functional Histology
• Also as good as Ross & Pawlina, ask the lecturers for their preferred reference but usually
either will do.
3. Junquiera’s Basic Histology (Less used but can be read as supplementary)

HELPFUL ONLINE REFERENCES!
1. Histology Guide - histologyguide.com
• Online laboratory slide library
• High definition, zoomable slides with helpful descriptions
2. Webscope - http://141.214.65.171/Histology/
• Crude online slide library given by one of the lab profs
• Unlabeled

PHYSIOLOGY
There are many physiology books and lecturers often have different preferred sources.
It’s impractical to have the physical copy of all of them, so I highly recommend you just keep
the digital copies. Best to ask the lecturers what they use as reference.
Common Reference Books:
1. Guyton and Hall’s Textbook of Medical Physiology
2. Review of Medical Physiology (Ganong)
• Some lecturers advise you read Ganong because the recent Board Exam based a lot
of their questions from Ganong. As early as now, some lecturers will encourage you
to read from this book. I think one of the lecturers based their exam questions from
Ganong.
3. Berne & Levy Physiology
BIOCHEMISTRY
Like Physio, there are many available biochemistry books and preference again varies between lecturers.
Keep digital copies instead of buying all the books because you’re likely to jump between them.
It also depends on what you’re most able to digest, some book are friendlier to read than others.
Common Reference Books:
1. Biochemistry Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews
2. Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry
3. Harper’s Illustrated Biochemistry
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION HOW-TOS
Bate’s Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking
Helpful across all modules that have patient examinations involved (Ex. thoracic and abdominal
exams). It details how to perform different physical exams and what results indicate. If you get a
physical copy of this, it may be useful even after LU3.
MODULE DEPENDENT REFERENCES
Some books are specific for certain modules only. I recommend you just get the digital copies.
The list below isn’t complete, but lecturers usually list the references you’ll need during the module.
Specific to:
Neuro Module (OS202) 1. Snell’s Clinical Anatomy
• Highly recommended by Dr. Roni Baticulon
2. Langman’s Medical Embryology
• For embryology lectures
3. DeMyer’s Neurological Examination
• Must-read for Dr. Cabral-Lim. She will grill you about
this if you have her as a preceptor for anything.
OB Module (HD201) 1. William’s Obstetrics
• The Bible of OB
Psychology Module 1. Synopsis of Psychiatry (Kaplan & Saddock)
(HD202) • Dragging to read. You can pass Psych module with
flying colors even without reading, just listen and study
the lectures given instead
Thorax Module (OS205) 1. Respiratory Physiology: The Essentials (John B. West)
