MISSING INFORMATION

The first several times I used this app I was blown away. Its an excellent study tool and really helps visualize many of the size shape and location of human anatomy, the real weakness is in the anitomical relationships… some of them were not accurate. For example, national professional exams will ask things like: “ name the structures that pass through the parotid gland.” … and the app will show the correct answer choices posteriorally to the gland.

Tools are difficult to use. For example, if you mistakenly hide a structure to better visualize something, you have to put EVERYTHING you hid back and start over. Also, the dialogue box is CONSTANTLY popping up over what I am trying to look at. Makes me want to SCREAM and there is no way to lock it in place that I know of... Finally, there are anatomical structures that simply arent there. For example, you cant isolate any muscles of the larynx or pharynx or even isolate something like “intrinsic muscles of the pharynx” on its own without manually removing everything around it… if its even there. Levator Veli Palatini? Where are you? It would be IMMENSELY helpful if you could isolate structures and then add back related structures from a suggestion box or search.

If you are taking undergrad anatomy, this is awesome. If you are a medical/dental student… still helpful, but falls short.
