Anatomy study notes for every structure
A note for every structure you study.
Every structure in the atlas has a study note written from the standard textbooks: Snell’s Clinical Anatomy by Regions, BRS Cell Biology & Histology and Inderbir Singh’s Human Embryology. Each note gives the book chapter and pages it comes from.
- Exam-focused: Location, relations, attachments, actions, nerve supply, blood supply and lymph drainage, then the clinical points examiners ask about.
- Key points for revision: A short list of the facts to remember, for the last read before an exam or a viva.
- Histology and development: The microscopic structure from BRS Histology and the development from Singh, added to the gross anatomy.
- On the 3D model: Open a note and the structure lights up on the body, so you see where it lies while you read.
