Report an issueOVERVIEW: This app has been designed specifically for the iPad. It is a must have app for anyone studying anatomy and is aimed at students with a basic to middle level of anatomical medical knowledge as well as medical professionals. It is far more interactive than flash cards with several amazing features (see below) and has an interactive quiz section for testing your knowledge of the nervous system.
NOTE: This application covers the nervous system that serves the body wall and extremities. This application does not cover the autonomic or visceral nervous system.
FEATURES: • Ability to zoom in and identify parts of the brain, any nerve region or nerve. • Ability to rotate the nerve or region for anterior, lateral, posterior and medial views, inferior and superior views are available where appropriate. • Over 250 high-quality 3-Dimensional images. • Over 850 flags that label nerves. • Anatomical descriptions of 800 labelled parts. • Labels in both English and Latin. • A dual index that can search in both English and Latin. • Ability to test yourself with a fun Quiz function. • Change background color from black to white and vice-versa. • A 'Home' button that takes the user back to the start screen. • No internet connection required.
HOW TO USE: The user is presented with a high-quality 3D model/image of the full nervous system. The user can zoom in to any area - by tapping on a region - tapping again will zoom in further - eventually the user will have zoomed into a individual nerve or nerve region. The user can then identify the different parts by pressing on the flags. Each label is in English and in Latin and by pressing on the 'i' icon the user can access additional information on a label. There is also a super Magnification Mode that greatly magnifies a nerve part allowing the user to press on flags that are close together!
INDEX: The application can also be used as a visual reference tool by using the index: By simply selecting an English or Latin name from the index - the application will show the user where it is located - by zooming into the appropriate region and finding and labeling the item you requested.
VIEWS: Throughout the app - even while zooming in - the user can get different anatomical views: anterior, lateral, posterior, medial and even inferior and superior where appropriate.
QUIZ: This is a handy and fun testing section - the user is asked which area they would like to be tested on - and then the application asks them to zoom in and identify a particular nerve. If after three attempts the user is unable to identify the nerve - he/she can ask the app to show them.

8 of 18This and the others in this set are excellent. I keep my Doctors on their toes, instead of them just practicing their profession. My technical questions are taxing, at times, to them, and the visual helps them to refresh, while explaining if it is within their scope of knowledge. If it is out of their scope of knowledge, they will usually avoid my question and I search another source.
This app is really informative. It has labels for different parts of the spinal cord and brain and cool views of everything. However, it doesn't flow as nicely as I hoped it would. Zooming in is double tap rather than pinch and certain areas are hard to pinpoint. Swiping to turn isn't smooth. Also picking particular areas from the index or quiz is flawed. Each time, the app zooms all the way back out before it zooms into the desired location. Kind of annoying. Overall, the app is cool and informative, but certain features could have been made a little better.
Loads intermittently, locks either at title screen or once the app opens. It has worked once out of twenty tries! Looking for a refund.
Compared to the other apps by the same company (like Muscle System Pro III or Skeleton System Pro III) this app is nothing out of this world. Its contents are quite basic, and the interface isn't nearly as great as the other apps... However, this app does stand out from the rest, it helps visualize a few things and has helped me study. I'd suggest you buy it, as 2 dollars is nothing compared to how useful this app can be.
I did not read the description good enough as some of the nerves I was looking for aren't in this program. This is a limited nervous system app, which should be stated more clearly but it's a good app none the less. Was going to give it 3 stars but it was my fault for not reading the description better...
3D manipulation instead of the confined predetermined rotation would make this a far superior app
Going through premed anatomy, and I have to say this app helps immensely for what it is. Very detailed info on origins and pathways, as well as motor and sensory functions. Had to dock a star because it's missing a couple cranial nerves, and it doesn't respond to 2 finger touch zooming. You have to double tap to zoom or rotate in 3D. Good app for $2!
I have learned more than ever with this app. The only thing that I wish they had was pinch to zoom or even moving up and down the body when you are zoomed in, but I can see where that would be difficult.
