  With more than 200 bones and over 600 muscles in the human body, Pocket
  Anatomy, is a physical therapist&rsquo;s app du jour. The mobile app for
  iPhone and iPad features 3D images of human anatomy and physiology to help you
  work efficiently. When is it useful, and how does it work?

  <li>As a visual aid during patient education</li>
</ul>

<h2>How to Use Pocket Anatomy</h2>

  of muscle layer 1. You can choose from the following options:

<div>
  <strong>Gender </strong>- Change the model gender to view male or female
  anatomy.

  <strong>Views </strong>- Switch from the default, full-body view to cranial
  view, plantar view, or a view of the reproductive system.

  access six different muscle layers, a joints and ligaments layer, or a
  skeletal layer.
</div>


<div>
  <strong>Pins</strong> &ndash; Colored pins are used on the body model to
  represent the anatomical parts of the body. When you tap on a pin, an

  After you download Pocket Anatomy, you can create an account in the app. If
  you do, it will increase the functionality of the app, allowing you to quickly

  or team meetings. An account will allow you to add the following features:
</div>

<ul>
  <li>Bookmarks</li>
  <li>Drawings (iPad only)</li>
