Interactive Learning Paper Model of Inguinal Canal

The inguinal region is one of the most complex anatomic areas of human body even though it has been the subject of great interest to anatomists and surgeons because of its clinical importance. The aims of the study are to: 1. provide a simplification and in-depth understanding of the complex and con...
