Human Anatomy

April 11th, 2008

It is the intent of this dissection manual to provide a means to facilitate the learning of human anatomy. The creation of this dissection manual, and the computer software program with the collection of videodisc images which accompany it, were developed by a team of individuals who place high value on education. While creating this multimedia approach to the study of human anatomy, the authors have been guided throughout by a single goal: to provide students and educators with a resource to enhance the discovery process inherent in the study of the human body. Various approaches are used in other dissection manuals. Some provide detailed anatomical description with few illustrations. Others present limited descriptions of anatomical structures with a great number of illustrations. Our innovation is to focus on concise descriptions of steps in the dissection process and provide key illustrations. Additionally, students can access a large videodisc image gallery which serves as a guide to the various steps of dissection. Steps of the dissection are illustrated with important structures individually identified and processes such as the reflection of muscles shown with a sequence of images. This approach not only provides students with a resource to guide them through the requisite steps of a particular laboratory, but also serves as a powerful tool for independent study and review.

AnatLine Version 1.0

September 25th, 2007

AnatLine is a prototype system consisting of an anatomical image database and an online browser. This prototype was developed by the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications at the National Library of Medicine to provide a client/server Internet interface to access gross anatomy images of the human body. During its beta phase, AnatLine stores a subset of the Visible Human Data Set. This version of AnatLine consists of image records of thoracic cross sectional planes, thoracic voxel structures, and rendered bitmap images. Access to the Anatomical Database during its beta test phase requires registration with the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications. AnatLines Anatomical Browser provides online viewing of low resolution surface rendered images of the human thoracic region. Anantline

Mascagni

September 25th, 2007

Paolo Mascagni’s Anatomia Universa consists of 88 plates. Forty-four are hand-colored lithographs of anatomical preparations and 44 are outline plates containing nomenclature for identifying the anatomical parts in an accompanying volume of text. The plates are so large that the text block has never been bound and is stored in a large book-shaped wooden box especially constructed for that purpose. Each plate is 99 cm x 72 cm and the image itself measures 72 cm x 53 cm. The colored plates were photographed during the 1980s on high quality 35-mm color film from which 2×2 slides were made. In 1999 the 44 slides were scanned at high resolution directly into Adobe Photoshop using a Polaroid SprintScan scanner and archived at three resolutions on a CD-ROM. The web site was designed and developed by Gek Choo Yeo, a former Information Commons Graduate Consultant who received her Master of Fine Arts degree (printmaking and graphic design) from The University of Iowa in 2000. Richard Eimas, Curator of the John Martin Rare Book Room, provided input on the site’s organization. go to web

Illustrated Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation

September 25th, 2007

It is clear that textbook writers and teachers over the centuries, even until today, fail to understand or to transmit to their students the crucial concept that anatomical and physiological diversity and variation is a canon of living organisms. This failure leads to the belief that textbooks are conveying immutable facts with only few anomalous exceptions. online book
