Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy Lab is one of the more intense laboratory courses offered in Zoology at the University of Oklahoma. It often comes as an eye-opener to the vast information one studying Zoology is required to learn and understand.

On this page, I plan on adding interesting web links for students to use when studying specific systems and organisms in CVA lab. I plan on editing and adding new sites as the semester progresses. If you find anything worth posting, let me know!

Greek & Latin Root Dictionaries

Often when learning new anatomical structures, knowing the latin roots of the terms will grealy assist in knowing what the structure functions to do, or what it may be attached to. Here are several latin root dictionaries which may be useful.
