Tips for using ADAM Interactive Anatomy

1) first locate and observe structure

2) understand function of structure

3) associate structure with surrounding structures

4) test yourself for a small number of related structures

1) first locate and observe structurea) where can this structure be observed?

Dissectible anatomy? Atlas anatomy?

b) what is best view?e.g., subscapularis can be seen from

an anterior, lateral, and posterior viewwhat is best view?

c) how deep will this structure be?

2) understand function of structurea) to what functional group does this

structure belong?

Functional muscle group?

Anterior supporting ligaments?

More than one functional muscle group?

Can you visualize the direction of pull?

3) associate structure with surrounding structures

a) what identifying landmarks exist near this structure?e.g., coracobrachialis attaches to the

coracoid process

b) what other muscles can you see when you see this muscle?

c) how does the dissection depth alter the view of surrounding structures?

4) test yourself for a small number of related structures

a) best to quiz each other in small groups

b) choose several functional groups

c) provide a given picture and have someone identify the visible structures

d) provide a given muscle or other structure and have someone else locate a picture of it
