Nowadays more and more modern medical degree programs focus on self-directed and problem-based learning. That requires students to search for high quality and easy to retrieve online resources. YouTube is an emerging platform for learning human anatomy due to easy access and being a free service. The purpose of this study is to make a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the available human heart anatomy videos on YouTube. Using the search engine of the platform we searched for relevant videos using various keywords.

 is study used dissection of 34 lumbar plexes to look at the prevalence of anatomical variations in the lumbar plexus and the six peripheral branches from the origin at the ventral roots of (T12) L1-L4 to the exit from the pelvic cavity. Prevalence of anatomi- cal variation in the individual nerves ranged from 8.8–47.1% with a mean prevalence of 20.1%. Anatomical variations included absence of the iliohypogastric nerve, an early split of the genitofemoral nerve into genital and femoral branches, an aberrant segmental origin for the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, bifurcation of the lateral femoral nerve prior to exiting the …
