How to Use Anatomy.TV

Quizzes & Activities
Test your knowledge of anatomy with the Quizzes & Activities module of Anatomy.TV.

Number of questions
You can choose how many questions are to be featured in your quiz. The minimum number of questions is five.

Question type
There are two types of quiz questions: 'Where is' and 'What is'.

'Where is' questions will ask you to identify an anatomical structure in the 3D model. For example, if the question is 'Where is the femur?' you will need to find the femur in the 3D model and click on it.

'What is' questions will ask you to name the anatomical structure highlighted in the 3D model. You will be given a choice of five anatomical structures, of which only one is correct.

Question difficulty
You will also have the choice to take easy or hard questions. Easy questions will test you on the basic functional anatomy of the chosen area, such as major muscles, ligaments and neurovascular supply. Difficult questions will test you on less obvious anatomical structures, such as divisions of musculature and detailed neurovascular supply.

Choosing views
You can also choose which 3D view to be tested on. You have the option to set the quiz on all or a subset of views.

Review
During the quiz, you may want to consolidate your knowledge of a particular area of anatomy. This is facilitated by clicking on the Review button, which will open up the relevant product title in a new tab or window. Please note that once you have clicked on the Review button, subsequent clicks will refresh the currently opened tab or window, which may be displayed behind the Quiz window.
