Revision for medical & dental students

Every layer
of you,explorable

Rotate the skeleton. Peel back to the muscles. Look inside at the organs. Then revise the anatomy your viva actually asks about, from modules written at university level and questions drawn from the same material.

01Skeletal layer

206 bones, 33 vertebrae, one frame

The frame everything else hangs from. Bone is living tissue — it remodels continuously in response to the loads you put through it, which is why the skeleton is one of the few organ systems you can directly train.

Move to a structure to highlight it in the model, or select it to keep it highlighted. The model can also be dragged to rotate and scrolled to zoom.

02Muscular layer

The engine, and the thing you can change fastest

Skeletal muscle is the most adaptable tissue you own. It responds to load within days, and the strength you build in it protects the joints underneath — which is why almost every rehabilitation programme on this site ends in a strengthening exercise.

03Organs layer

The systems doing the work right now

Everything the frame protects and the muscles serve. These organs are not independent units — the liver talks to the pancreas, the gut talks to the brain, and the kidneys quietly set your blood pressure while you read this.

For dental & medical students

The anatomy your viva actually asks about.

Study modules written for university-level revision — relations, blood supply, innervation, embryology, histology and the clinical correlations that follow from them. Then a question bank generated from that same material, so what you are asked and what you read can never contradict each other.

£15/month, cancel any time. Universities licence it by the seat — ask your course lead whether yours already has.

Inside a module

  • Structure-by-structure anatomy, with the relations an examiner asks you to name.
  • Arterial supply, venous and lymphatic drainage, and innervation by modality.
  • Development and histology, where an exam expects them.
  • Clinical correlations — the situation you meet, and why the anatomy explains it.
  • Viva questions and marked MCQs, derived from the module rather than written apart from it.

Modules are published per topic as they are authored and reviewed.
