These APR assignments are AMAZING. I’ve been waiting so long for something like this. My teacher brain is about to explode with all the ways I can use them!

Richard Pirkle, A&P Instructor, Tennessee Tech University

This made me feel more controlled in studying. There was no confusion on what I needed to pay attention to. I enjoyed how interactive it was; I actually felt excited to learn.

McGraw Hill Partnership with University of Toledo

In partnership with the  University of Toledo’s Center for Creative Instruction , McGraw Hill launched the first-of-its-kind virtual dissection tool in 1997: Anatomy & Physiology Revealed® (APR). APR utilizes cadaver photography to provide students with a realistic experience and the ability to practice and understand dissection 24/7—without the physical resources of a cadaver. Throughout the years, APR has undergone updates to meet today’s students and offer a full educational experience, including animations, histology, radiology, and anatomical models. Most recently, in partnership with  ISO-FORM LLC , 3D rotatable models have been incorporated into APR, giving students a glimpse at the spatial relationship between structures that may not be understood with a flat image.
