Elbow and Forearm

ANATOMY FLASHCARDS
Elbow and
forearm
Dear Anatomy Geek,
Welcome to your Kenhub flashcards eBook.
This eBook is laid out in a flashcard style format, which means that
you can learn anatomy easily and on the go. Oh- and without
having to deal with a tidal wave of handmade flashcards flying
around.
Result!
So, how do I use this anatomy eBook?
It couldn’t be simpler. On the first page, you will see an illustration of

an anatomical structure along with a question asking you to identify it. Allow yourself a few seconds to recall
the name of the structure you see as well as its purpose in the body. Once you think you’ve got it, flip the
page. Here you will see the answer in English and Latin, as well as some additional information about the
structure.
It’s important to be honest with yourself.
Did you get it right? If so, great! Move onto the next card. If not, make a note to come back to it later
before you move onto the next card.
And that’s it! It’s really that easy. Swipe the page to get started now.
