Heart

Have an upcoming test on the heart? Here are some flashcard decks and resources for studying!

Quizlet: Heart Anatomy
A flashcard deck using model and drawn images.
Use requires registering for a free Quizlet account.
Quizlet: Heart Anatomy
A flashcard deck using drawn images of the heart. A particularly good deck for practice labeling parts of the heart.
Use requires registering for a free Quizlet account.
Anatomy Zone: Thorax Anatomy Tutorials
A website that uses 3D modeling for organ systems. Although broken up by parts of the body rather than by organ system, this website is still very useful for studying heart structure. Multiple organ systems are within each section.

Do you need to identify and label major blood vessels instead?

Check out our general circulatory system resources found on this page. Gray's Anatomy, Gray's Anatomy for Students, and Atlas of Human Anatomy are particularly good resources for studying.

3D Model Program

Access Medicine: Complete Human Anatomy Modules
This is by far the most comprehensive 3D modeling website/program for anatomy. Although the website is a bit clunky and slow due to the many assets of the program, it provides a full interactive 3D model of the human body. You can choose between a female or male anatomy model. There is also a corresponding app for this program. This program is provided by Access Medicine. Here's the link to a video tutorial for using the 3D Model: https://www.accessusercenter.com/videos/61544-updated-human-anatomy-module
