Do your students need more time in the dissection lab or virtual lab? Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy is the perfect online visual complement to textbook, course and lab learning. In this human anatomy video atlas, world-renowned anatomist Dr. Robert Acland shows and explains anatomical movement in every region of the body.

Organized into 5 volumes by body region, this vibrant online learning solution includes nearly 330 narrated videos of REAL cadaver specimens covering bones, muscles, tendons, organs and more. This essential resource provides students and faculty with anytime, anywhere access—from any device—while search and navigation tools make it easy to find the exact content needed for course, lab or exam review.

The purpose of this program.

The purpose of the Video Atlas is to shorten the learning time needed, to gain an accurate three-dimensional understanding of human structure. It is designed to show you, in the simplest way, the true appearance of the structures of the human body. It is not intended to be either a guide to the process of cadaver dissection, or a replacement for it!

How this program works.

Each of the six volumes of the Video Atlas is divided into a number of sections. Each section is divided into short sub-sections. Each volume consists of approximately 60 sub-sections. These vary in length: the average length is 2.5 minutes.

The functions of this streaming video program are self-explanatory, whether you navigate with the Index or the Table of Contents. When you select a structure in the Index, the sub-section that includes it appears in the table of contents, highlighted. On the far right a side box appears, listing the structures that are included in that sub-section. When you click on a sub-section it starts playing. You can fast-forward and reverse within a sub-section.

What this program shows.

The Video Atlas shows dissections of real, unembalmed human bodies. The bodies used were those of individuals who had chosen to give their bodies for use in medical education and research. No artificial material was added to the specimens before the images were recorded, except that red silicon latex was used to fill the arteries in some specimens. After being recorded, the images were not altered, colorized, or enhanced. The images, therefore, show the appearance of the tissues as they are in the living body. Because the tissues have not been stiffened with preservatives, the images also show their natural texture and mobility.

Some of the images show both sides of the body; some show one side only. When one side is shown, it is always the right side. The body position is constant: it is shown in the upright standing position, with the part shown being usually at the viewer’s eye level. If there is a transition to a higher or lower angle of view, you will see the transition happening, or it will be announced.

Both male and female bodies were used to prepare these images. Except for areas where there are marked differences between male and female anatomy, no comment is made about the sex of the individual.
