Human anatomy is an extremely complex area of biology. If you begin to study it deeper, you will learn things about your body that you did not even know about. This knowledge will be especially useful for medical students..
You no longer need thick books to study anatomy. We've compiled a list of the best apps in the field, including free ones, that you can find for Android and iPhone. They will become indispensable helpers for medical students, doctors and all those who are interested in improving their knowledge. So let's take a look at them.
3D Atlas
With the help of the 3D Atlas, you can easily view any anatomical structure at the desired angle. 3D models are distinguished by a high level of detail, with a resolution of up to 4000 pixels. The application contains models of all human systems: musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, nervous (including the senses - the eye and ear), respiratory, digestive, urogenital, endocrine and lymphatic..
You can rotate and scale each model, make certain parts transparent, view muscles at different levels, from superficial to deep. In addition, there is a search function and a filter to hide or show each of the systems.
There is also a muscle description, but it is only available in English. It contains information about the place of attachment, innervation and its functions. There is support for 11 languages, including Latin, English, Russian. Terms can be displayed in two languages at the same time..
The app is free to download, however, a paid version is required to use all features. The free version only allows you to evaluate the functionality, most of the information in it is not available.
Human Body Educational VR
Human Body Educational VR contains all the information about the body for aspiring doctors and students. The developers position it for ages from 8 to 18 years old, although the knowledge available here can be useful for everyone. There are separate versions with a female body and a male .
The application contains three-dimensional figures, can enlarge organs, the skeletal system, is compatible with virtual reality glasses and is equipped with a special button to enable this function. The app is free, no ads or purchases.
Internal organs
The app with the telling name " Internal Organs " shows three-dimensional models of internal organs with their brief description. However, the displayed information is more useful for schoolchildren - the descriptions are not detailed enough for people professionally involved in medicine.
Any model can be rotated and enlarged, hidden or shown, and you can choose to display female or male organs. Animation is available, allowing you to see the work of the selected organ.
Anatomy Learning
Anatomy Learning is a versatile application that details every part of the human body using 3D images. Although still in development, the image quality is excellent.
The application works only if you have Internet access. There is a good reason for this: each image contains a lot of details and pointers, which could take up a lot of space on your phone's memory. It is for this reason that the developers decided not to make 3D images available offline. To view 3D images on a large screen, you can visit AnatomyLearning.com from your computer.
BioDigital Human
BioDigital Human allows you to highlight and focus on specific parts of the body, making it an ideal tool for students. It contains over 1,000 interactive 3D models and over 300 flash cards, each containing an image that provides detailed information about a specific body part.
The flash cards also contain links to popular sites to provide additional information if the standard description is not enough. In addition to this, each flash drive can lead to other connective parts of the body to improve understanding of anatomy.
Each organ is analyzed separately, its functions are disclosed in detail. There are no restrictions on taking screenshots or annotating each image.
The app is available for Android and iPhone .
Complete Anatomy
Developed by a team of scientists and researchers, Complete Anatomy provides a complete virtual dissection of the entire human body to give students a real understanding of the process of an operation or autopsy. It is ideal for medical training. Considering Complete Anatomy's large database, the app takes up about 1.5 GB of space at the time of download. So make sure you have enough free space to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
More recently, the presentation mode has appeared. All controls in the lecture are now centralized at the bottom of the screen, and the interface has been minimized and optimized for screen sharing. And also a new tool has appeared - a pointer. With it, you can highlight important areas in any lecture.
Once installed, you get access to 17,000 interactive models that will help you better understand the human body. In addition, there are courses from experts in various fields: anatomy, ultrasound, cadaver examination, clinical correlates. In addition, Complete Anatomy offers over 1,500 animations for cardiology, dentistry, fitness, ophthalmology, orthopedics and more.
Available for Android and iPhone .
Essential Anatomy 5
Essential Anatomy 5 contains a very detailed description of the human body. In total, there are more than 8,200 different structures for self-study.
Instead of flipping through hundreds of pages to find organs and structures, Essential Anatomy 5 makes it easy to find the information you need. The images are supplemented with descriptions in great detail.
Human Anatomy Atlas
The Human Anatomy Atlas provides an excellent understanding of the inner workings of the human body. Instead of information about individual body parts that are difficult to piece together without the proper knowledge, the app makes broad topics easier to understand.
There is a medical reference book with a 3D atlas of the male and female body, over 4,600 detailed structures. A feature of the application is the ability to edit and share models with colleagues. This is a detailed tutorial rather than a simple reference guide.
Teach Me Anatomy
The Teach Me Anatomy app contains over 250 in-depth articles in English on almost every aspect of human anatomy. In addition, there is access to 800+ high definition illustrations as well as clinical images for reference.
All data can be saved to your phone for offline viewing, but it will take a lot of free space. There is access to tests that consist of 800 multiple choice questions. They are also in English.
IMAIOS
The IMAIOS app presents information in a very structured manner . For a better understanding, the entire body is divided into separate topics. Additional features include the ability to turn labels on or off, search the index, create notes, and enlarge illustrations. IMAIOS is ideal for in-depth study of anatomy, rather than disparate definitions.
3D Bones and Organs
3D Bones and Organs is a great alternative to conventional textbooks: in addition to studying basic human anatomy, viewing bones and organs is available. This can be very helpful for students who are just starting their medical careers. The developers claim that all information is taken from Wikipedia and anatomy textbook. There is even a quiz here to test knowledge, but it is in English.
To make it easier to navigate the information, the developers have created a bookmark function that allows you to quickly return to the desired page. And also there is the ability to rotate 3D models, zoom in or out of the desired organ.
