Opiskelukirja. Sanoma Pro Oy. (This book is primarily used as a textual source.) 2. Drake, R. L., Vogl, A. W., & Mitchell MB BS, F. 2022. Gray’s Basic Anatomy: Gray’s Basic Anatomy - E-Book (3rd ed.). Elsevier. (This book is primarily used as an image source.) 3. Hansen, J. T. 2022. Netter’s clinical anatomy (Fifth Edition.). Elsevier. (This book is primarily used as an image source.) Additionally, anatomical images can be searched using Google Images. It is also recommended to explore three-dimensional models or videos on platforms such as YouTube, as understanding two-dimensional images can otherwise be challenging.
