beginning
In this article, I will explain effective study methods, starting with knowledge of specialized parts in human anatomy.
In human anatomy, it is necessary not only to memorize the names of various organs, muscles, and bones, but also to remember where they are located in the body. Therefore, it is necessary to learn as efficiently as possible.
I hope you will deepen your understanding even a little by reading this article and using the app.
Now, I'll explain the details about the “cervical lamellar muscle” and how to study human anatomy.

What is the cerviculoid muscle?
The anatomy application allows you to view a selection of anatomy 3D models. In this model, there are various observation methods such as surfaces, cross-sections, and nervous systems. This time, I'll explain using an anatomy application.
About the cerviculoid muscle

The splenius cervicis muscle (splenius cervicis) is an important muscle involved in neck and back movements, and is mainly involved in back bending, rotation, and side bending movements of the neck. This muscle starts from the spines in the cervical spine (C3 to C6) and stops at the lateral protrusion of the upper ribs. The cervicoid muscle is very important for bending the neck (backward bending), rotating the neck (twisting), and tilting the neck (side bending).
This muscle provides the muscle strength needed to maintain neck stability and mobility, and also plays an important role in maintaining posture. By the normal function of the cervical plate-like muscle, the range of motion of the neck is expanded, and neck and shoulder movements can be performed smoothly. Also, strengthening muscles and improving flexibility are important for preventing neck and shoulder pain.
Weakening of the cervical discoid muscle restricts neck movement and causes shoulder and neck pain. Therefore, strengthening this muscle regularly is very important for maintaining neck and shoulder health.
Study points
Anatomical understanding
Splenius cervicis is a muscle located at the back of the neck and plays an important role in head and neck movements. When learning this muscle, it is first necessary to accurately grasp its anatomical position and running behavior. The cervicoid muscle starts at the spines of the cervical spine (C3 to C6) and stops at the lateral protrusion of the upper ribs. This muscle is heavily involved in neck rotation and backbends.
In order to deepen anatomical understanding, it is effective to use actual anatomy diagrams and 3D anatomy apps. This makes it possible to visually capture muscle positional relationships and running movements. In particular, the cervicoid muscle is a deep muscle group, and it is important to learn by being aware of positional relationships with surrounding muscles (for example, trapezius muscle, latissimus dorsi muscle, etc.). By understanding how these muscle groups work in concert, you'll be able to accurately grasp their overall function.
Also, in terms of anatomical understanding, it is possible to more clearly understand the mechanism of movement and the function of muscles by learning the morphology and arrangement of muscles in detail. Understanding the interaction with the muscle groups involved in neck and back movements is also important in learning the function of the cervicoid muscle.
Understanding muscle function
The cervical lamellar muscle is involved in backward bending (movement of bending the neck), rotational movement, and lateral bending (movement of tilting the neck) of the neck. In order to deepen the functional understanding of this muscle, it is very effective to learn the function of the muscle empirically while actually moving the neck. For example, by performing an act of bending the neck backwards and being aware of how the cervical plate-like muscles contract during that time and which part the load is applied, you can feel the function of the muscles even more.
Functional understanding also includes learning how muscles work in concert. The cervicoid muscle works with other muscle groups in the neck and back to support movement. Understanding that muscle groups such as the trapezius muscle and latissimus dorsi muscle contribute to neck and head movements while cooperating with the cervical plate-like muscles is very important in learning the coordinated effects of muscles.
Also, since strengthening muscles and improving flexibility have a positive effect on the function of the cervical discoid muscle, it is effective to consciously enhance that function through actual stretching and exercise.
Practical applications
In order to strengthen the cervical discoid muscles, it is effective to perform exercises involving backward bending and rotational movements of the neck. By lying on your back and doing exercises to tilt your neck backwards, you can strengthen your muscle strength targeting the cervical plate-like muscle. Also, by incorporating exercises to lightly rotate the neck, it is possible to improve muscle flexibility and expand the range of motion of the neck.
In everyday life, it is important to move your neck regularly, especially if you often stay in the same position for a long time. In modern society where desk work and smartphone use continue for a long time, neck and shoulder stiffness is likely to occur, and by incorporating light stretches and rotational movements on a daily basis, it is possible to activate the cervical plate-like muscles and prevent shoulder and neck pain.
Also, when exercising, it is important to do it without difficulty and gradually expand the range of motion. It is important to strengthen your muscles without putting an excessive load on them.
How to study human anatomy
I will explain specific study methods using human anatomy applications.
Check your past learning history and practice repeatedly
Here are the steps to check your anatomy learning history and practice iteratively effectively.
1. Check your learning history in the app
Reviewing your learning history with the application is an important step in effectively advancing anatomy learning. First, launch the app and go to the learning history section from the main menu. Many anatomy apps are designed to show your progress in the form of graphs and lists, so you can visually check which parts you've learned about and how much time you've spent.
By using this data, you can understand which areas you have strengths in and where you need to spend more time and effort. We also recommend using a dedicated tag or notebook function to mark areas you are particularly weak at or where you need to relearn. Regularly checking your learning history and looking back on past learning content will lead to efficient review and deepening understanding.
2.Make a plan for iterative learning
Making an efficient repetitive learning plan based on learning history is extremely effective in promoting knowledge retention. First, identify weak points and areas where you need to relearn. Next, arrange these study items into a weekly or monthly calendar and create a specific study schedule. By proceeding in a planned manner, you can learn each part evenly and avoid packing in a large amount of information at once.
Using a task management app or digital calendar to set study reminders is effective. Also, it's important to have the flexibility to regularly review progress and revise plans as needed. By having goals and proceeding with your studies in a planned manner, you can efficiently acquire anatomical knowledge.
3.Use 3D features to learn visually
By utilizing the 3D function, learning anatomy is easier to understand visually. The 3D model shows the structure of the human body three-dimensionally, and each part can be observed in detail. This makes it possible to intuitively grasp positional relationships between deep muscles and organs that are difficult to capture in a planar view. For example, you can learn even the smallest details by rotating specific muscles and bones and zooming in and out.
Also, there are many apps that have the function of displaying cross-sectional views of each part using a 3D model, which is useful for deepening understanding of internal structures. This diversity of visual information helps with memory retention and improves immediate responsiveness in tests and practice situations. By utilizing the 3D function and learning visually, you can learn anatomy knowledge more deeply and efficiently.
Use the memo function concretely

Make notes so you don't forget the things and points you've noticed while studying. The memo function can be used for different purposes, such as inputting text, saving images, and writing memos. Tag your notes to make them easier to review later.
Test your learning regularly in the form of quizzes
Regularly testing what you've learned in a quiz format is a very effective way to anchor your anatomy knowledge. Quiz-style tests help you objectively grasp your level of understanding and areas you lack while repeating knowledge.
For example, by using a learning app to conduct quizzes every specific period, you can reconfirm what you've learned and strengthen your memory. There are a wide range of quiz formats, such as multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and short answer questions, and each helps understanding from a different angle and develops the ability to utilize various types of knowledge.
Get feedback
If possible, get feedback from other learners and experts. It helps you find your own gaps in understanding and areas for improvement. You can also keep yourself motivated to learn by regularly testing yourself. Feeling a sense of accomplishment and progress increases motivation for continuous learning.
