by Mark Hankin, Dennis Morse, Judith Venuti, and Malli Barremkala features over 600 USMLE®-style multiple choice anatomical questions, classified as easy, moderate, and difficult, with detailed explanations. Chapters are organized by organ system and questions are categorized by anatomical region. Questions begin with a clinical vignette and are based on actual case reports, often incorporating patient and diagnostic images.
Key Highlights
- Award-winning Thieme anatomical illustrations used extensively in both questions and explanations provide exceptional clarity
- In-depth coverage of the lymphatic and endocrine systems
- Approximately 25% questions are image-based, mirroring the USMLE® format
This essential resource will help you assess your knowledge and fully prepare for the USMLE® Step 1 or COMLEX Level 1 exam.
Be prepared for your board exam with the Thieme Test Prep for the USMLE® series!

ANATOMICAL LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upper and Lower Limbs
? Describe and identify the bones and joints of the upper and lower limbs, including their characteristic features, their range of motion, clinically significant anatomical relationships, and surface landmarks.
? Describe the fascial compartments of the upper and lower limbs, including the functional muscle groups contained within each and their action(s) and neurovasculature.
? Describe the stages of gait, including the skeletal structures and muscles involved.
? Describe the course and anatomical relationships of the neurovascular structures that pass between the root of the neck, thorax and upper limb, and between the pelvis, perineum, and lower limb. Identify the surface locations at which arterial pulses may be palpated in the limbs.
? Describe the origin, course, and distribution of the brachial and lumbosacral plexuses. List the innervation of upper and lower limb muscles, and differentiate between the dermatomal pattern and the cutaneous distribution of named nerves.
? Explain the anatomical basis for the tendon reflexes and identify the location of those commonly assessed in a physical examination.
? Describe the boundaries and contents of the anatomical spaces and passages of the upper and lower limbs.
? Explain the changes in the bones of the lower limb during infancy and early childhood.
? Explain the anatomical bases for, and characteristics of, hernias in the groin region.
? Recognize normal and pathological anatomy in standard diagnostic imaging of the upper and lower limbs.
Back and Vertebral Column
? Describe and identify the bones and joints of the vertebral column, including their characteristic features, their range of movement, clinically significant anatomical relationships, and surface landmarks.
? Describe the normal curvatures of the vertebral column.
? Identify the principal muscle groups of the vertebral column, including their action(s) and neurovasculature.
? Describe the course and anatomical relationships of the neurovascular structures associated with the back and vertebral column.
? Describe the anatomy of the spinal meninges, and the continuation of the ventricular system in the spinal cord that contains cerebrospinal fluid.
? Recognize normal and pathological anatomy in standard diagnostic imaging of the back and vertebral column.
Head and Neck
? Describe and identify the bone and joints of the cervical region and skull, including their characteristic features, their range of movement, clinically significant anatomical relationships, and surface landmarks.
? Describe the anatomy of the fontanelles in the neonate and infant, including the timeframe for their closure the formation of the cranial sutures.
? Describe the principal muscles and ligaments that contribute to stability and movement of the joints of the head and neck, including their attachments, action(s) and innervation.
? Describe the anatomy of the cervical triangles, including their fasciae, contents, and anatomical relationships.
? Describe the course and anatomical relationships of the neurovascular structures in the head and neck. Identify the surface locations at which arterial pulses may be palpated in the head and neck.
? Describe the anatomy of each cranial nerve, including their functional composition, origin, course, and distribution to structures in the head and neck.
? Describe the anatomy of the somatic cervical and brachial nerve plexuses, including their contributing nerve roots and the distribution of their branches to structures in the head and neck.
? Describe the distribution of somatic sensory nerve distribution in dermatomes on the head and neck, and the trigeminal nerve in the face.
? Describe the anatomical basis of the gag reflex.
? Describe the anatomy of the orbit, including its skeleton, neurovasculature, and the extra-ocular muscles and their attachments, actions, and innervation.
? Describe the anatomy of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, including and their characteristic features, neurovasculature and anatomical relationships.
? Describe the anatomy of the tongue and soft palate, including their muscles, neurovasculature, and anatomical relationships.
? Describe the anatomy of the pharynx, larynx, and esophagus, including their neurovasculature and anatomical relationships.
? Describe the stages of swallowing, including the skeletal structures and muscles involved.
? Describe the developmental anatomy of the pharyngeal arches and list structures derived from each pharyngeal arch, pouch, and cleft.
? Recognize normal and pathological anatomy in standard diagnostic imaging of the head and neck.
Thorax
? Describe and identify the bones and joints of the thoracic skeleton, including their characteristic features, their range of motion, clinically significant anatomical relationships, and surface landmarks.
? Describe the typical intercostal space, including its muscles, neurovasculature, and clinically significant anatomical relationships.
? Describe the anatomy of the thoracic inlet, including the anatomical relationships of structures that pass through it.
? Recognize normal and pathological anatomy in standard diagnostic imaging of the thorax.
Abdomen
? Describe the anatomy of the abdominal walls, including their skeleton, muscles, fascial layers, and neurovasculature. Describe the umbilical folds and ligaments, and inguinal fossae on the internal aspect of the anterior abdominal wall.
? Describe the anatomy of the inguinal canal in the male and female, including its contents and anatomical relationships. Describe the role of the processus vaginalis in the development of the inguinal region.
? Describe the spermatic cord, including the derivation of its investing layers.
