Head & Neck Anatomy
Study material for Exam I
The following thumbnail images are from your text. They are intentionally unlabelled.
Following the column with the images you will find a list of the diagram sources in your textbook. A good way to study for the ID portion of Exam I is to go through the images in Chapter 1, 2 & 3 of your text and highlight the structure list items that can be seen in each image. Then, study these images. Next, return to this page and start clicking on the thumbnail images below. WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOUR TEXT - see if you can identifying the structures (from your list, not ALL of the structures!)
