Week 4

If you're following the indicative study schedule, you should by the end of the week be getting fairly familiar with all of the following.
  • Extensor hallucis & digitorum longus
  • Flexor hallucis & digitorum longus
  • Peroneals
  • Tibialis posterior
  • Popliteus
  • Tensor fascia latae
  • Adductors
Keep working on memorisation of the muscles using the approaches that you've found to be good so far. And remember to get some palpation time to integrate your learning.

For those who are interested in another online anatomy option, you could try the Visible Body project. This is a pretty cool free online 3d model of the human body. You can remove structures layer by layer or body system by body system, you can move around the body & zoom in from different angles. It's a really great perspective on the body. You do need to set up an account to access the info on the site, and the speed (from here in NZ) is not very good, but it's still worth a look if you're in the mood for a different perspective on anatomy.
