More about this resource
Visible Body provides a suite of different multimedia learning resources. The most impressive is the Human Anatomy Atlas:
- it’s a 3-D atlas of the human body, including all body systems
- view normal human anatomy from any angle and with any combination of body systems, for example:
- the skeleton and blood vessels without any other organs in between
- the nervous system in isolation.
Visible Body enables you to examine the whole body or a specific region, with each anatomical feature labelled and explained. It also includes additional features such as cross-sectional anatomy and microanatomy (such as a detailed view of the inner ear). And you can check your knowledge through a wide range of quizzes on each body system.
If you want to go beyond normal anatomy, we have access to Premium packages for Muscle, Skeleton and Heart & Circulatory. These go into a lot more detail, including various animations, such as how different joints work. The Muscle Premium resource also includes a pathologies section. This goes beyond normal anatomy to include descriptions of common injuries and conditions.
Finally, the Physiology Animations resources include over 100 detailed animations, such as system overviews, physiological processes and common injuries and conditions.
