How to use the flashcards! The cards are organised thematically to provide excellent preparation for your exams if worked through systematically. All cards (with a few exceptions) are structured according to the following simple and selfexplanatory concept: •
Every card face contains a possible examination question relating to the card’s topic. On , in a chart or as the back of the card, the answer is displayed either in the answer box highlighted image annotation.
•
Another way to test yourself is included in the cards that show images with numbered structures. Here you are supposed to name the structures. The solution is on the back of the card.
providing additional information, learning tips Many cards also display an information box (“mnemonics“) or pathological and clinical facts or aspects. Some of these contents are meant to help you memorise certain facts, while others are simply “good to know“. Of course not all of the questions will be relevant to your examination. They have, however, been asked in a similar or even identical way in past anatomical tests or exams. Have fun practising!

Organisational principle of skeletal muscles
1
The amount of force a muscle transfers to a joint depends on the length of the lever arm involved. The perpendicular distance of the joint’s rotation axis from the muscle’s line of action represents the lever arm of the muscle. As the length of the lever arm varies depending on the relative joint position, it is also called the virtual lever arm.

Normally, skeletal muscles link two bones and move one bone relative to the other. Originally, the idea was to refer to a muscle’s attachment site on the fixed bone as its origin (Punctum fixum or Orgio) and to the site on the moved bone as its insertion (Punctum mobile or Insertio). However, as bones are moved relative to each other, the proximal attachment site is simply defined as origin and the distal one as insertion.
