Thorax mind maps

Using thorax mind maps

These maps let you follow a topic through linked branches. For a starting point, try Chest, which brings together the sternum, ribs and intercostal region. You can use its branches to organise your review of the chest wall before moving to a more focused map.

Mediastinum sets out the superior and inferior regions and their borders. For a closer look at one area, Inferior Mediastinum separates the anterior, middle and posterior divisions. The map on thoracic wall arterial supply follows vessels including the subclavian and internal thoracic arteries.

Move between formats

Read a branch, then look away and try to recall the connections it shows. Return to the map to check what you missed. If you want to test a detail as a question, switch to a quiz on the Thorax unit page; use flashcards there when you want to revisit individual points.
