Anyone who has attended a medical school, have read Netter’s Anatomy textbook. Now we have the same pictures available on iPhone in an interactive format. This study aid developed by Modality Inc. had  about 210 cards. The pictures are very sharp and clear. You also have an option to zoom in and out. It allows you to “flip” the image over to review concise text on areas of origin, insertion, action, innervation, anatomical relevance, and clinical significance.

You can browse the pictures by selecting the Body section.  It then given you option to select Bony anatomy, Radiographic anatomy, Ligaments, Muscles, Arteries, Nerves, Physical axamination and Conditions. Once a card is opened, you have an option to simply click on each “Pin” and see the answer OR select the Quiz mode and test yourself. It will then ask to identify certain part and if you get it write, you will get green signal and if you get it wrong, you will get red signal with option to try again.

Another great feature on each card is that when you select a pin, it will first display the name associated with pinned item. After that when you click on the displayed name, it will tell you that on which other cards this particular structure appears in and also an option to search Google for this particular structure.

You also have an option to bookmark certain cards for furture quick reference under bookmarks.

This app should be not be considered as alternative to Netter’s Textbook because it is not as detailed but it is an excellent study tool. It is still very comprehensive and will definitely replace any Anatomy Flash Cards.
