Students studying anatomy are often overwhlemed by the sheer load of information they need to assimilate in a short period of time. While many of the structures' names have Latin roots and are descriptive in nature, it is, nonetheless, a formidable volume of information to learn. Given the range of different learning styles, multiple aids have been developed to help students learn anatomy, from coloring books, sketching applications, flash card creation, and chart building, to 3-D visualization of illustrated organs, nerves, and vasculature. What we bring to the table are two things: reasoning modules and interactive videos. The reasoning modules are focused on areas that students tend to have trouble understanding fully, like the anatomical basis of the H-test, determining the cause of unequal pupils, head and neck parasympathetic pathways, and laryngeal structure and function. The interactive videos seek to combine the self-directed nature of 3-D applications with actual cadaver dissections so that students can explore detailed dissections virtually, directing where they go and what they see next.

The parasympathetic system of the head and neck is a challenging subject for many medical students. Using in-situ dissections and alternate reasoning pathways, this module can help students work their way through complex diagnostic questions to gain a thorough understanding of cranial nerves and parasympathetic ganglia that is more apt to stay with them beyond their first-year anatomy course.

Learn the anatomy of the larynx by working through this reasoning module based on the action of swallowing. With in-situ dissections and endoscopic videos, the names and actions of the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the larynx can make a lot more sense.
