Software Sides: Video Atlas of Human Anatomy

This series highlights new educational software available in the AISR Learning Resources Centers.

A combination of unique features makes Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy, published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, different from all other video-based anatomy learning tools.

This program provides a three-dimensional look at anatomy by rotating a specimen on both the vertical and horizontal axis:

All the dissections are of real, fresh, unembalmed human specimens. The true color and texture of each structure is shown, just as it would in look in a living body.

Joints and muscles are shown actually moving as they would in life.

A concise narration runs through the program, using the simplest language possible.

The names of structures, when seen for the first time, appear as onscreen titles used to help reinforce learning.

Aclands Video Atlas starts with the foundation. For example, with the musculoskeletal system the bones are shown first, then joints and their movements, then the muscles, and then the blood vessels and nerves.

The last awesome feature of this software is the ability to use a glossary and search an index to find exactly what you are looking for.
