3D brain anatomy
This is an excellent site. It is an unusual, clever approach to the presentation of 3D brain anatomy – sorted anatomically, by function and displayed in a superb way which makes good use of web based animation. Worth a look.
Other anatomy resources
This month I wanted to feature a range of good anatomy sites. Some are quirky and have elements of the bizarre, others are serious sources of excellent material.
How about Gunther von Hagens Bodyworlds. No matter what you think of the individual - the site is worth a look. It is the first anatomical exhibition of preserved human bodies, which was made available to the wider public. Since its initial installation in Japan in 1995, nearly 25 million visitors in over 40 cities in Asia, Europe, and North America have seen what is considered the world’s most successful traveling exhibition.
How about an online anatomy atlas. An excellent resource; a digital library of anatomy information and plenty of links to other quality image libraries.
Anatomy podcast anyone? I did try to listen but not really my cup of tea. You might find it helpful though. Try Instant Anatomy - a website with illustrations of the human body
to aid the learning of anatomy with diagrams, podcasts and revision questions.
Finally this month - ever visited the The Visible Human Project ®which is an outgrowth of the NLM's 1986 Long-Range Plan. It is the creation of complete, anatomically detailed, three-dimensional representations of the normal male and female human bodies. Acquisition of transverse CT, MR and cryosection images of representative male and female cadavers has been completed. The male was sectioned at one millimeter intervals, the female at one-third of a millimeter intervals.
Take care,
