Anatomy Topics in Focus 5.0

This application provides a comprehensive series of 38 concise lectures focused on human anatomy, each dedicated to a specific topic. Designed to support learners at various levels, the content is particularly suitable for medical and nursing students, biological sciences students, as well as physiotherapists and medical professionals seeking to refresh their knowledge.

Presented by Dr. Robert Whitaker, these audio lectures are enriched with a total of 975 anatomical diagrams, complemented by over five hours of detailed commentary. The diagrams are interactive, allowing zoom functionality via pinch gestures and adaptable viewing modes in both portrait and landscape orientations. Each lecture is approximately 10 minutes in duration, facilitating focused study sessions.

The series encompasses a broad range of subjects, including:

• Flexor Retinaculum and Carpal Tunnel
• Brachial Plexus
• Shoulder Abduction
• Clavicular and Pedal Bones
• Vertebral Level Structures
• Upper Limb Revision Multiple Choice Questions
