Subject: Health Sciences
Choose the level of difficulty and anatomical structure, and start answering the questions
You can do the test online or download an app to your mobile phone or tablet
Primal Pictures is an atlas of human anatomy, with 3D and 360° images that health sciences students on some courses use as a learning resource. The entire university community can access it through the UOC Library to learn the basic concepts of anatomy and physiology of the human body.
One of the features offered by Primal Pictures is a quiz with which you can answer questions about anatomy related to a specific part of the body (head, torso, upper and lower limbs) or the whole body.
You can customize the test to suit yourself, adapting the level of difficulty and the number of questions, and selecting the musculoskeletal system to test yourself. You can enlarge and overlay 3D images of anatomical structures at any time to examine them from different angles and perspectives.
There are two types of questions:
- Where is it? With this type of question you have to give the location of the bone, muscle, ligament, nerve, etc. mentioned.
- What is it? A highlighted item will be displayed and you have to say what it is.
