Anatomy

The toughest subject?

I hope these notes will help you with anatomy – it is notoriously difficult in the FRCA and hard to work out what the examiners really want. I find a lot of pictures makes life a bit easier and I can visualise the structure better.

I would recommend apps such as Essential Anatomy 5 or Complete Anatomy for those who like 3D visualisations on tablets or phones. It is worth the payment for me because I use the apps to teach students and to show patients in obstetrics and pain clinic.
