Users of the app gain access to hundreds of high-quality images and helpful descriptions of the important cells, tissues, and structures in multiple organ systems created by faculty at University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria. Explore mode allows students to learn about cells in different organs and their functions in the body. Toggle between low and high magnification images of each organ. Specialized cells are clearly highlighted, and the underlying text describes their appearance and role. The app also contains Time Trial mode with multiple choice questions at escalating difficulty levels. There are over 350 different questions to test your knowledge across multiple organ systems.
