From Lippincott Williams & Wilkins’ popular Board Review Series, Gross Anatomy Flash Cards for the iPhone and iPod Touch take a clinically relevant approach to the study of gross anatomy.  250 concise flash cards highlight the need–to–know information for course review of USMLE Step 1 preparation on-the-go.  Utilizing a short definition or phrase that triggers the recall of an answer, each card prompts students to commit a key point to memory, allowing for high-yield review and retention of the studied concepts and structures.

Example flash card:

Question: This defect results from the fusion of the inferior poles of the kidney during development.

Answer:  Horseshoe kidney – this developmental defect results from an impediment to migration of the kidneys by the root of the infereior mesenteric artery; this relatively innocuous anomaly can predispose to obstruction and/or infection and occurs with increased frequency in patients having Tunrer’s syndrome.
