Anatomy Learning Software

Anatomy software uses images as learning tools.

Anatomy learning software teaches through a virtual laboratory that allows a digital dissection of the human body. It can be an indispensable tool for a student, as it provides a closeup of muscles, bones, skin, body cavities, organs and cellular tissue.

Body Systems

From the nervous to the skeletal and other systems, the interactive dissection walks through the inner intricacies of the human body. Different planes of view are controlled by a click of a button, from transverse to coronal. Closeups of organs, the peeling back of body tissues and software labeling or color-coding make understanding and memorizing material easier.

Self-Testing

Self-tests help improve performance and make learning more fun. A choice of subjects from either a whole anatomical system or a specific organ allows study to focus on individual weak points. Three-dimensional digital models allow for rotation and viewing of bones and organs through 360 degrees, an invaluable tool for preparing for upcoming practical lab exams.

Video and Audio

Videos help further clarify various body functions such as the movement of food through the digestive system or blood flow through the heart's atrium and valves. Clicking on selected items, while viewing an organ or whole system, helps teach the proper pronunciation of the scientific names through an audio playback of the words.
