    This year I’ve been working on a new iPhone app, and it’s getting close to being ready for release. This is the Daily Anatomy app, and it will present a randomly selected anatomy multiple choice question every day. Each answer includes a description about why the correct answer is correct, with some associated anatomy tidbits.…

    I finally got round to converting the iOS Skull Osteology app (and web resource) into an Android app, test it, and get it up on the Google Play Store. It should work on Android phones but I haven’t tested it on tablets. The aim of this app is to give students the key details of…

Today we talked about the anatomy of the lymphatic vessels of the lower limb, and the mechanisms by which lymph is transferred from lower limb tissues back to the abdomen, thorax and circulatory system.

    I’ve updated the Skull iOS app. It is now a universal app, so it will work on your iPad or your iPhone. The iPhone version has pretty retina-ready images and is sized for the iPhone 5 (it will work fine with 4, 4S and 3GS iPhones that I’ve tested it with). Go download it (it’s…

    Steve Atherton built this 3D computer model that nicely illustrates the Circle of Willis and the cerebral arteries between (and within) the brain and the bones of the skull. We worked on it a while ago and I’ve used it in teaching (it looks great on a 3D TV) but I’ve only just got round…

    I’m finally reaching a stage in my life where neuroanatomy is becoming interesting. I know – it’s hard to believe. I really, really struggled when I first encountered the brain 20 years ago, I’ve really struggled since, and after teaching anatomy for almost a decade (next year will be my 10th year at Swansea University…

    Here it is: Apple App Store – Skull Osteology It’s only a simple app, but hopefully useful for somebody. And hopefully the first of a bunch of mobile learning apps. If I can find the time I’ll get this ready for other platforms too.
