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 can read this article and use the app to deepen your understanding even a little bit.
Now, I'll explain the details about the “dorsal finger vein” and how to study human anatomy.

What is the dorsal finger vein?
In the anatomy application, you can 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 dorsal finger veins
The dorsal finger vein is part of a network of veins on the back of the hand and is located on the back of the finger. This venous system mainly collects blood from the fingertips and sends it to the dorsal venous arch of the hand. The dorsal venous network that flows through the back of the hand is in a superficial layer and is characterized by being easy to see under the skin. The dorsal finger vein consists of small branches that run vertically and horizontally on the back of the back of the hand and gather blood from local veins merging together. These veins play an important role as part of the body's overall blood circulation system, and function to return blood containing waste products to the heart after carrying oxygen and nutrients. The above is an overview of the dorsal finger veins from an anatomical point of view.
Study points
Location and structure of dorsal finger veins
The dorsal finger vein is a vein located on the back of the back of the hand. This vein runs on the back of the finger, and after small branches join to collect blood, it joins the dorsal venous network of the hand. Specifically, it is located shallowly on the dorsal side of each finger and runs directly under the skin, making it easy to see. The dorsal finger vein mainly collects blood that has finished using oxygen from the periphery of the fingers and flows it towards the back of the hand. These blood vessels join the dorsal venous arch formed on the back of the hand and continue into the venous system of the forearm. Due to its location and structure, the dorsal finger veins play a role in blood circulation and promote blood recirculation throughout the body. Anatomically, these veins run over nerves and muscle tissue and are closely related to finger movements.
The role and function of the dorsal finger vein
The dorsal finger vein is part of a blood vessel located on the back of the hand. This vascular system is mainly responsible for returning oxygen-poor, metabolite-rich blood from the fingers to the back of the hand and forearm veins. Anatomically, the dorsal finger vein is located on the dorsal surface of the finger and is in the most superficial layer. It starts at the end of the finger and flows towards the back of the hand while merging with other finger veins. Also, these veins join the dorsal hand venous network and continue further proximal from there to the vena cava. During this process, blood returns to the heart and enters the circulation where oxygen is supplied again. Importantly, these veins play a role in efficiently draining blood from the fingers and back of the hand, and support proper circulation and nutrient supply to the hands.
English notation for dorsal finger vein
The dorsal finger vein is called the “dorsal digital vein” in English. “dorsal” comes from the Latin word “dorsum,” which means “back” or “back.” “Digital” comes from the Latin word “digitus” and indicates “finger” or “toe.” “vein” comes from the Latin word “vena” and means a tube that returns blood to the heart. Thus, “dorsal digital vein” refers to a vein that passes through the back of the finger. These veins are located on the fingers of the hands and toes, and since they run close to the skin, they often have characteristics that are easy to see. Anatomically, it runs around the fingers and plays a role in efficiently returning blood to the heart. This name clearly reflects the position and function of the body and is commonly used in medical conversation and literature.
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.
