New topics, more content! Daily Anatomy Flashcards teaches healthcare students the 500 most important anatomical structures in a beginner-friendly format. The perfect entry into the world of anatomy!

*Reach your goals*

Starting to learn anatomy can be overwhelming, but it shouldn't be. Daily Anatomy can be used without any prior knowledge. It starts with the basics, and challenges your brain more and more over time. Learning with Daily Anatomy is not only about repetition. It introduces information in varying forms. Solving a problem in different ways helps you memorize information longer-term and finally be able to fully absorb it. Whether on your next exam, or in your medical professional career, all the anatomy structures will be at hand. No more thinking. Just knowing.

*What will you learn?*

With Daily Anatomy you learn all the important structures of human anatomy. This includes bones, muscles, nerves, vessels and specific points on the bones.

Instead of many thin arrows pointing at various structures, each structure is clearly highlighted in green in its entirety. This way you can easily identify and memorize both shape and location.

*How to stay motivated and not forget*

Whether you need to learn lists of information, or for instance, every muscle and bone in the human body including how they function together, there is a method really works to help you out. The bonus is that this method doesn't stress you out either because you get to take lots of breaks.

It's called spaced repetition, and it's the way to go for knowledge that sticks in your cranium.

By using spaced repetition, you work through a series of increasing intervals of time between studying what you've previously learned. This method utilizes the psychological spacing effect, which occurs when you are going back over information that you have already learned in order to remember it better. Spaced repetition works well for lists of items or new vocabularies such as medical terminology.

Daily Anatomy has built-in spaced repetition, so you learn as efficiently and effectively as you can.

Ratings and reviews

It is decent, but this app is only for reviewing the materials rather than learning new terms. They don't provide definations for words that are unfamilar, so we have to research it ourselves once they appear. I feel like we are only assoicating words with pictures rather than learning the terms. For example, one of the words is internal. The image is arrowing, pointing internally, but one of the answer choices is deep as well, which would also apply.

Okay for the basics, but may be confusing. For instance, the app utilizes word/picture association and repetitive cognitive re-association to help the user learn the basic terms of human anatomy. What it doesn't do is provide a basic definition or explanation of the word, which becomes increasingly important as you broaden your anatomical and psychological vocabularies. The example which most readily comes to mind is the early introduction of the terms Anterior and Ventral. Both use very similar drawings to depict them; however, there is no definition offered so that a new learner can identify the difference. Make the addition of a brief term description to the first introduction of a new term and, perhaps, if someone were to get the term wrong in the "quizzing", and it becomes much more valuable as both a teaching aid and as a personal development tool.

App needs a couple of fixes such as when it resets answers and you have to start from the very beginning. There should be an option to set what level you would like to start at. Another is when you're far enough along, it then makes you wait half a day just to play again. It won't let me skip ahead even when I try pressing that option. It also is missing some anatomical areas. Hopefully, they keep working on it because it has lots of potential.
