3D Bones and Muscles (Anatomy)

As a nursing student this is my favorite anatomy app!! I learned all the muscles and bones before starting my anatomy class and it was so helpful, I felt so smart in class. It’s really fun when using the game feature but the game is easier to use when you’ve memorized first or else it’s frustrating. To memorize names/placements I just used the “disappear” feature to make the selected bones/muscle disappear if I could remember their name. It was kind of like using flash cards in a way (if that makes any sense). If you click on the “i” icon, it gives you detailed information such as for the muscles origins, insertions, and actions. Especially helpful for brain anatomy, and the main blood vessels. This app is also helpful for basic anatomy such as the organs. I used it all throughout Anatomy I and II. Best app for anatomy in my opinion, and I’ve tried a lot of them!

I cannot say enough how much I love this app. I recommend it to all of my classmates in medical school because for this price it really does not get any better. I did happen to find one small error under the description of one of the muscles. When you select the popliteus and then the button to see its Origin, insertion, innovation and actions, it says one of its actions is laterally rotating the leg. In reality, the popliteus medially rotates the lower leg. When you click on the video for the actions of the popliteus, it has the correct movement and description (medially rotating the lower leg). This is such a tiny error, and the only one I have found thus far. Like I said, this app is incredible and I wish I could give it even more stars.

I find this app has been incredibly helpful for many wonderful uses. I first got it as an educational tool for my daughter who had an interest in studying massage therapy. It’s helped her learn every muscle, ligament and how they attach to the bones, ect A few years later she had to have major hip surgery ( FAI) and years of PT to rebalance her body and this app has helped us understand her body, helps her be that much more spot on about which areas are doing what so she can communicate to her Drs &PTs so it’s made her recovery that much better, more specific. And now Ive been using it for similar needs as I recover from my spinal surgeries. Even today, cuz something felt ‘stuck’ and I was in agony, couldn’t get to see any PT in any timely manner, so I referred to the app, looked up the area that was hurting, got an inside look at how the muscles overlay eachother and was able to visualize what might be ‘stuck’ so I could massage and stretch accordingly and it worked. I got an amazing release and relief and I can walk today w/o agony and a limp. So 👍👍👍👍👍
