So, how do I use this anatomy eBook?

It couldn’t be simpler. On the first page, you will see an illustration of an anatomical structure along with a question asking you to identify it. Allow yourself a few seconds to recall the name of the structure you see as well as its purpose in the body. Once you think you’ve got it, flip the page. Here you will see the answer in English and Latin, as well as some additional information about the structure.

It’s important to be honest with yourself.

Did you get it right? If so, great! Move onto the next card. If not, make a note to come back to it later before you move onto the next card.

And that’s it! It’s really that easy. Swipe the page to get started now. QUESTION What structure is shown here?
