Anatomy

Things I’ve gathered for learning and referencing human anatomy.

Learning resources

TeachMeAnatomy (Website) — peer-reviewed anatomy articles (600+, written by doctors), 3D models, quizzes, and flashcards, organised by body region.
  • The Heart (Article) — chambers, valves, and conduction, clearly diagrammed.
  • The Brachial Plexus (Article) — the clearest walkthrough of a notoriously confusing network.
  • Visible Body (Website) — interactive 3D anatomy atlas and learning guides.
  • AnatomyZone (Website) — 200+ animated video tutorials filed both by region (head, thorax, upper limb, neuroanatomy) and by system (cardiovascular, nervous, skeletal), down to individual bones, nerves, and ligaments.

Articles

  • Femoral ring (Wikipedia) — the 1.25 cm opening at the abdominal end of the femoral canal, bounded by the inguinal ligament in front, the pectineal ligament behind, and the lacunar ligament medially. It’s filled with extraperitoneal fat, and it’s the route a loop of intestine takes to become a femoral hernia.
