11 Free Tools to Teach Human Anatomy in 3D

11 Free Tools to Teach Human Anatomy in 3D
The following are some good resources to help students explore the human body through interactive imaging, games, exercises and more. Build-a Body: This is a great website that allows students to build the human body using interactive elements system by system. Each system has descriptions and provides some facts about diseases. Students will only drag and drop the parts of body such as bones, organs,..ect. BioDigital Human This is a great resource for anatomy. It lets users view the human body in 3D, hide or remove layers, create custom views and many more. Medical Animations The university of Pennsylvania Health System has a great website offering medical animations, explanations of several medical problems, resources on anatomy, physiology, and the human body. InnerBody This is a website where students can learn about human anatomy and physiology. Zygote Body This is the the substitute of Google Body. Visible Body This one here allows you to view the human body in 3D.

BioDigital Human - 3D Platform for Understanding Anatomy and Physiology One of the services that Google shut down as part of their Labs closure was the Google Body Browser. It was a good site for anatomy and physiology students. Fortunately, there are some other sites that do the same things that the Body Browser did. BioDigital Human offers interactive 3D models of human anatomy.

CircuitLab - online schematic editor & circuit simulator Mozilla Thimble ღ Anatomy and Physiology Learning Modules - CEHD - U of M Quiz Bowl and Timed Test were retired at the end of summer 2013. Quiz Bowl had always been buggy, as many people had pointed out, and it had become difficult to maintain. It also used technology that doesn’t work on a lot of newer computers or tablets. Timed test depended on a browser add-on that both Microsoft and Apple have encouraged users to remove for security concerns. For these reasons, we took these two quizzes down at the end of the month. Thanks to everyone who has shown support for them, and we hope you continue to use the other quizzes on this site! Looking for the Image Bank? Conference for High School Anatomy and Physiology Instructors - October 17 and 18, 2014 - Minneapolis, MN.

Best Science Visualization Videos of 2009 Some of the most impressive images in science are produced when researchers take numerical data and represent it visually through modeling and computer graphics. The Department of Energy honored 10 of this year’s best scientific visualizations with its annual SciDAC Vis Night awards, at the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing conference (SciDAC) in June. Researchers submitted visualizations to the contest, and program participants voted on the best of the best. From earthquakes to jet flames, this gallery of videos and images show how beautiful (and descriptive) visual data can be. (We’ve adapted the captions from the SciDAC Vis Night blurbs.) Above: The Big One This visualization illustrates some of the rupture and wave propagation phenomena of a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the San Andreas fault in Southern California. Video: DOE SciDAC Program/Amit Chourasia, Kim Olsen, Steven Day, Luis Dalguer, Yifeng Cui, Jing Zhu, David Okaya, Phil Maechling and Thomas H.

Symbaloo Anatomy and Physiology animations Listed below are a collection of physiology animations and anatomy animations. These animations are intended to support text or lecture and it is important that they are not seen as stand-alone reference material. Notes: If you or your students discover any factual errors in the animations please let me know: andrew@visualization.org.uk Some of the animations can only be accessed from the university network - please contact Liz Hodgson in the LDU if you would like them on WebCT so that students can access them externally. Visual detail in Flash animations can often be magnified (click on the animation with the right mouse button and use the zoom control) Here are some animations of organs/organ systems: Cranial nerves (No text version) Cranial nerves (Customised version)) Anatomical directions and sections. Central and Peripheral Nervous System Vertebrae: meninges etc. Brain: meninges cerebrospinal fluid etc. Primary motor and somatosensory Cortices (Homunculus) Skin turgor Stomach, liver etc.

Bricolage, ruse et subterfuge La pédagogie instrumentée par le numérique essaime dans la sphère de l'apprentissage et de l'enseignement. L'abondance des communications institutionnelles, universitaires et des usages de terrain est un indicateur de ce foisonnement. essaimer ne signifie pas pour autant stabilisé ou généralisé. Nous sommes entrés, depuis quelques années, dans une phase de diffusion des équipements dans les établissements via les efforts conjugués du ministère et des collectivités locales. L'enquête PROFETIC (prof et TICE) de septembre 2011 (1) montre que 79 % des enseignants disposent facilement d'un ordinateur dans l'établissement, 66 % d'un vidéo projecteur et 59 % d'un ordinateur pour les élèves et tous les enseignants ont un ordinateur à domicile. Pourtant ... malgré ce déploiement de la "Raison technicienne", des enseignants continuent (2), persistent à travailler et à construire hors des cadres numériques prescrits.
