Key Facts
• Fresh human specimens in their natural colours.
The Video Atlas images are direct video recordings
of real human anatomic specimens. The cadavers
used were not stiffened or discoloured by
embalming. Their tissues retain the colour, texture,
and mobility of the living body.
• Real movement.
Besides showing the structure of
the human body, the Video Atlas shows moving
structures – muscles, tendons and joints – making
life-like movements.
• Amazing dissections.
The dissections were done
by skilled clinical anatomists, using the finest
surgical techniques. Studio lighting accentuates
the shape and definition of the structures.
• Clear narration and labelled structures.
A concise
narration runs throughout the program, using
the simplest possible language. The names of
structures, when seen for the first time, appear on
screen as a learning reinforcement
• Building complex structures step-by-step.
In each
part of the body, the Video Atlas starts with structures
that give you the foundation for your understanding.
The bones are shown first, then joints and their
movements, then the muscles, and then the blood
vessels and nerves. This is the reverse of the order
that is seen in dissection, where the foundation is not
understood until the end.
• Review sections.
Throughout each program there are
brief review sections that let you test yourself on what
you have seen in the preceding 10-15 minutes.
• Navigation.
The content can be searched by
anatomical regions and parts, as well as by the A-Z
index. Run times are listed for each part. You can start,
stop, and pause at any time while viewing a video.
