If you are a current subscriber (not perpetual licence holder – for FAQs relating to perpetual access please go to the Perpetual Flash section of these FAQs), the discontinuation of Flash will likely have a limited impact on your access. Any impact of the discontinuation of Flash will also depend upon what modules your licence includes. Below are FAQs detailing which modules will or will not be impacted.

If you are a current subscriber (not perpetual licence holder – for FAQs relating to perpetual access please go to the Perpetual Flash section of these FAQs), the following modules will not change following the discontinuation of Flash:

• Atlas
• Real-Time
• Functional Anatomy
• Anatomy & Physiology
• Exercise
• Pilates
• Yoga
• Resistance Training
• Primal VR
• Ultrasound: Upper & Lower Limb

• Otolaryngology
• Dentistry

• Speech Language Pathology
• Pelvic Floor Disorders
• Head & Neck: Basic Neuroanatomy

If you are a current (not perpetual – for FAQs relating to perpetual access please go to the Perpetual Flash section of these FAQs) subscriber the following modules will change following the discontinuation of Flash (for details please see the * by each prodct and further detail below):

• PALMs¹
• Anatomy Trains²
• Massage & Manual Therapies²
• Axilla³
• Acupuncture³
• Systemic³
• Clinical Knee³
• Sports Injuries series³

• Quizzes & Activities – SLP: Interactive Learning Activities⁵

We’ll be moving all of our existing Quizzes & Activities into a Legacy Quizzes & Activities tab in the Titles section of Anatomy.tv where you will be able to access these modules as normal up until the browsers no longer support Flash. This move is intended to partition away modules that will cease to work due to the incoming changes with the way browsers handle Flash.

Although the Quizzes & Activities can be accessed until the end of December 2020, we’ll be launching a new and improved replacement quiz very soon that is not underpinned by Flash. It is intended to replace all our regional Flash-based quizzes and the Functional Anatomy quiz module. It will be available in a new Quizzing tab in the Titles section of Anatomy.tv so it is right at the forefront of your Anatomy.tv experience.

This change has been prompted by all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari etc) making the decision to discontinue the support of Flash. Flash underpins the current modules found in the Quizzes & Activities tab.

We will be updating this FAQ page and the banners on Anatomy.tv to let you know when the Quizzes & Activities move into their new Legacy Quizzes & Activities tab and the new replacement quiz is available. Currently we are hoping to make this change before the end of November 2020.

The new module will be called Primal’s 3D Anatomy Quiz. It will be represented as a single module on Anatomy.tv, but will contain content covering the entire human body – with a menu in the product allowing you to switch seamlessly between regions, adjust the type of questions, the number of questions etc.

We have replicated much of the functionality in our current regional Flash-based quiz modules in a new, intuitive environment – we have also added functionality allowing for the manipulation of the anatomy during the quizzing. We have done this following feedback that our customers want an experience similar to an assessment in a lab environment.

If your personal or institutional subscription includes one of the following modules the new quizzing module will be added to your account at no additional cost:

• Primal’s 3D Atlas of Human Anatomy
• Primal’s 3D Real-Time Human Anatomy
• Primal’s 3D Functional Anatomy

All modern browsers will allow access to the new replacement quiz module (including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge). Internet Explorer however, will not be compatible.

We understand that getting access on the go is very important to our customers and, with that in mind, we’ll be launching an app in the near future. We will update this FAQ page and Anatomy.tv when this app has launched.

Tablet and mobile phone access will be supported via the app that we will be launching in the near future. More information on this will follow on this FAQ page and on Anatomy.tv.

When we make these changes to Anatomy.tv, we will be including a quick start video guide as well as help literature. If you have any specific questions in advance of the launch, please contact us at clientservices@primalpictures.com

If you subscribe to PALMs there will be no change to the product itself, but we’ll be changing the PALMs tab in the Titles section of Anatomy.tv from PALMs to Assessment. We are making this change to ensure consistency around naming conventions of our tabs.

If you have access to either the Speech & Language Pathology quiz module or the Study Guide (both currently found in the Quizzes & Activities tab on Anatomy.tv) these will unfortunately cease to function following the adjustment by browsers away from supporting Flash. If you would like more information on this change or how it may affect you, please contact us at clientservices@primalpictures.com

We have included a link to the Adobe site here. This should give you additional information on the timeline and reasons for the discontinuation of Flash.

Much of our content, such as movies or slides, opens in "pop-up" windows.

Your browser may be configured to block pop-up windows. For the site to work properly, you need to tell your browser to allow pop-ups for Anatomy.tv (or www.studentAnatomy.tv)

Pop-up blockers can also be found in other software – for example, the Google Toolbar, Yahoo toolbar, Outlook toolbar, or other internet or privacy software such as software firewalls, anti-spyware or ad-blockers.

Below is a guide to changing pop-up blocker settings in popular browsers:

Internet Explorer: Under "Options" in the main menu, choose "Popup Blocker", choose "Popup Blocker Settings" and enter www.Anatomy.tv and/or www.studentAnatomy.tv

Mozilla Firefox: Under "Tools" in the toolbar choose "Options" and click on the "Content" tab in the left hand column. If the "Block Popup Windows" option is clicked, click the "Allowed sites" button and enter www.Anatomy.tv and/or www.studentAnatomy.tv in the textbox and click allow.

Google toolbar: Click on the "X popups blocked" button. This will allow popups for the site you are currently in.

Yahoo toolbar: Click on the Popup blocker button (next to "search web" button). Choose "Always allow popups from" from the menu. Highlight www.Anatomy.tv and click "Allow". Click OK to "always allow popups from this site".

• The green is showing the agonist.
• The red shows the antagonist.
• A muscle acts as the agonist in one action and as an antagonist in the opposite action. For example, when bending the elbow and raising the hand toward the shoulder, the biceps muscle contracts and is the agonist (GREEN); the triceps muscle stretches and is the antagonist (RED). When the movement is reversed and the elbow is extended, the triceps muscle contracts and is the agonist (GREEN), and the biceps muscle lengthens and is the antagonist (RED).
