Study

Learning anatomy and medicine is mostly retrieval practice. Pick a scope, let the atlas highlight or name a structure, and answer; then test the clinical knowledge that hangs off it. Scores stay on your device.

Identify the structure in 3D

Each question highlights one structure in the atlas and offers four names from the same system. Keys 1–4 answer.

Whole body

Any of the 1,671 structures: the full challenge.

Skeleton

Bones and cartilage: the body's load-bearing frame.

220 pieces

Joints & ligaments

Ligaments, joint capsules, discs and membranes that bind the skeleton.

40 pieces

Teeth

The permanent dentition: 32 teeth of the upper and lower jaws.

28 pieces

Muscles

Skeletal muscles, tendons and aponeuroses that move the body.

443 pieces

Heart

Chambers, valves and walls of the heart, with the pericardium.

20 pieces

Arteries

Systemic and pulmonary arteries carrying blood away from the heart.

642 pieces

Veins

Systemic and pulmonary veins returning blood to the heart.

395 pieces

Nervous system

Brain, spinal cord, cranial and spinal nerves, ganglia and meninges.

147 pieces

Sensory organs

Eyes and ears with their internal structures.

37 pieces

Respiratory

Nose, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree and lungs.

125 pieces

Digestive

Mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas.

109 pieces

Reproductive

Male reproductive organs and ducts.

12 pieces

Locate the structure in 3D

The reverse exercise, and the one exams use: the atlas names a structure and you click it on the body. Great for surface anatomy and for learning where things sit.

Terminology and clinical quizzes

Match a definition to its name. Ten questions per round; pick a bank.

Viva practice

Short-answer questions of the kind asked in an oral exam, generated from the physiology key facts, conditions and first-aid steps. Think of the answer, then reveal it.

Pleural effusion and empyema; Sepsis; Respiratory failure; Lung abscess

Pneumonia ↗

Septic shock and death; Acute kidney injury, lung failure, liver failure; Disseminated clotting and limb loss; Long-term physical and cognitive effects

Sepsis ↗

Diabetic ketoacidosis; Hypoglycaemia from insulin; Retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy; Cardiovascular disease; Foot ulcers

Type 1 diabetes ↗

A raised TSH with a low free T4 confirms primary hypothyroidism; thyroid peroxidase antibodies indicate the autoimmune cause. Cholesterol is often raised.

Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) ↗

Pulmonary oedema (acute breathlessness); Kidney impairment; Arrhythmias and sudden death; Repeated hospital admissions

Heart failure ↗

1. Stop the burning 2. Cool with running water for 20 minutes 3. Remove clothing and jewellery 4. Cover loosely 5. Relieve pain and seek assessment

Burns and scalds ↗

Probability scoring and D-dimer, then CT pulmonary angiography to show the clot; ventilation-perfusion scanning in pregnancy or kidney disease. ECG and echocardiography assess strain on the right heart.

Pulmonary embolism ↗

Injury during seizures; Status epilepticus (a seizure over five minutes: an emergency); Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP); Driving and employment restrictions; Depression

Epilepsy ↗
