Anatomy and Physiology
Atlas of Human Anatomy in Cross Section    http://www.anatomyatlases.org/HumanAnatomy/CrossSectionAtlas.shtml
The Digital Anatomist Project     http://sig.biostr.washington.edu/projects/da/
The eSkeletons Project     http://www.eskeletons.org/
     From the Internet Scout Report:  "This project from the University of Texas at Austin is an interactive approach to learning anatomy. Users choose either to view human, baboon, or gorilla skeletons to learn about individual bones, or compare the anatomy between species. Bones can be rotated and viewed from different angles, along with various "'overlays' depicting major muscle origins and insertions as well as articulations and morphological features." Additional three-dimensional features can be viewed with Quicktime and VRML plug-ins that can be downloaded from the site. The glossary of anatomical terms is quite helpful, incorporating images along with textual definitions. [AL]"
Gray's Anatomy     http://www.bartleby.com/107/
The Gross Physiology of the Cardiovascular System     http://cardiovascular.cx/
     From the Internet Scout Report:  "This site is the online text of Dr. Robert M. Anderson's book The Gross Physiology of the Cardiovascular System. Even though biomedical knowledge is continually advancing and becoming more specific, Anderson feels that it is important to "have a clear understanding of the gross mechanical function of the cardiovascular system as a whole." This resource is provided as a model to do just that. The text is well organized and easy to navigate; additionally, a video that provides a summary of the online text can be viewed online. [AL]"
Human Anatomy Online     http://www.innerbody.com/htm/body.html
The Living Skeleton: A Tour of Human Bones     http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/xrays/
     From the Internet Scout Report:  "Access Excellence at the National Health Museum provides this Web site as an educational tool for learning about the human body. X-ray images and bone photos of the human skeleton are organized into eight body area categories, viewable with or without explanatory labels. Both normal bones and those having fractures or other medical conditions are included, along with links to explanations of some of the conditions. The site may be useful to those studying medicine, anatomy, or anyone who is interested in images of the human body. [AL]"
Radiologic Anatomy Browser      http://radlinux1.usuf1.usuhs.mil/rad/iong/
Vesalius:  the Internet resource for surgical education     http://vesalius.com/
Visible Human Server     http://visiblehuman.epfl.ch/
      From the Internet Scout Report:  "This Web site from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology allows users to view three dimensional models of human anatomy. A free registration allows users to log on and fully access the site, but there are some sample demonstrations available without registration. When visiting the site, you can view, rotate, and extract cross sections from the anatomical models, or build your own anatomic model by choosing the structures of interest. The site works best with Internet Explorer 5 and the latest version of Microsoft Java VM. The site provides how-to files that are extremely helpful for new users. This is certainly a site for those studying human anatomy, but it is a cool site that may also appeal to others. [AL]"
