A visually stunning, step-by-step introduction to each human body system. The web access and mobile versions of Anatomy & Physiology 2019 include: each human body system introduced in a short series of lessons that use interactive 3D models, illustrations, histology slides, bite-sized physiology animations, and quizzes to test your knowledge.
A comprehensive reference of musculoskeletal structures and function, plus common injuries and conditions. The web access and mobile versions of Muscle Premium 2018 include: 3D models of muscles, ligaments, bursae, and bones; 3D models of common conditions; and video presentations by physical therapists, doctors, and researchers that review normal anatomy and common conditions.
Visible Body Human Anatomy Atlas is a digital collection of anatomy, physiology, and pathology visualizations and animations. The atlas includes comprehensive male and female 3D anatomy models, selected micro-anatomy of tissues and organs, cadaver slices and diagnostic images that are paired with 3D cross-sections, and interactive animations of all systems such as muscles and bones as well as quizzes and lab activities. The Atlas can be explored through regions, systems, cross-sections and muscle actions. The Atlas is an app available for download on your personal computer or smart device!
The Human Anatomy Atlas makes high definition, 3D anatomical models available anywhere, anytime. While we have many 3D models available for use within the library at the Ask Us Desk, this database provides accessibility outside of the library, along with additional features like the ability to zoom, dissect, and rotate the models. Need help finding an organ, muscle, or bone? Use the search function! There are also quizzes and activities for an interactive learning experience.
Students studying the human body in any form, whether it is in the sciences, the arts, or any discipline in between. Use it to add depth to your study of our models available in the library, or use it on its own!
Visit the Ask Us Desk
The Ask Us Service Desk is located on the first floor of the Library and provides in-person help by answering questions about the Library, Campus, or three Institutions. This service also loans anatomical items, technology items (such as phone charges and calculators), plus course reserves, or textbooks, for some classes.
Research Consultations
Research consultations are for in-depth and lengthy discussions about research questions. Please use Schedule a Research Consultation Form to request an appointment. We can help you out via Zoom or over the phone. Due to the level of preparation needed, appointments should be made 48 hours in advance. If you need immediate help, please use our 24/7 chat service.
We have added Visible Body to our collection of library resources. Follow the link, log in with your Kent IT account details, and click the Visible Body tab at the top of the screen.
Visible Body enables you to examine the whole body or a specific region, with each anatomical feature labelled and explained. It also includes additional features such as cross-sectional anatomy and microanatomy (such as a detailed view of the inner ear). And you can check your knowledge through a wide range of quizzes on each body system.
If you want to go beyond normal anatomy, we have access to Premium packages for Muscle, Skeleton and Heart & Circulatory. These go into a lot more detail, including various animations, such as how different joints work. The Muscle Premium resource also includes a pathologies section. This goes beyond normal anatomy to include descriptions of common injuries and conditions.
Visible Body is a 3D visualization and learning tool used to explore the systems of the human body. The Human Anatomy Atlas contains numerous anatomical structures, including all major organs and systems of the human body. This module's features include detailed definitions, self-guided learning with hundreds of quizzes, and the ability to save custom 3D views & personal notes.
The Teaching Assistant (TA) would use Visible Body to demonstrate 7 structures. Students would then be given time to review and to ask questions, and the TA would then go on to demonstrate 7 more structures, students would be given time to review and ask questions, and so on.
Students were asked review questions prior to being excused from lab. Additionally, students were asked to complete a number of follow up assignments, such as palpating muscles, review questions, and review sheets where muscles could be labeled. The lectures were recorded for future viewing and TAs also created shorter videos reviewing and demonstrating muscles on the models.
On the corresponding exam students were asked to identify muscles from an image bank generated from visible body and the textbook. Additionally, they were asked to provide the origin, insertion, and/or action of muscles. The average score of online students on the corresponding exam was 88.97% compared to 88.45% for in-person students. The difference between the groups was not statistically significant. These findings are representative of the other exams, as well.
It is quite challenging to teach an anatomy course online. This was most notable in the lab component of the course, where I believe students directly interacting with models and specimens in three-dimensional space is critical to their overall understanding and learning. Students not being able to work in groups was an additional challenge. Based on exam scores and student feedback, the use of Visible Body offered a satisfactory surrogate for students interacting with models and specimens in the lab. I will work to integrate the use of Visible Body into future courses even when students are able to attend in person and safely participate in group work. Additionally, I will work to optimize this integration (e.g. to provide more structured differentiation and to utilize it in a manner better targeted to specific topics).
Quite a bit of additional time was required for initial onboarding and getting used to navigating Visible Body. Capturing images and labeling them to use for review and exams was also time consuming (perhaps an additional hour per lab). Structure lists also had to be altered if differentiation was not possible on a static Visible Body image.
The use of Visible Body itself would be just above beginner; the use of Visible Body to teach the online lab section I would rank as advanced due to the concomitant coordination of various other factors.
Personally, I like how my TA uses physical models of bones and muscles as demonstration tools in comparison to using visible body. I prefer physical models over using visible body. However, I think visible body is a great studying tool for viewing structures under different angles. It can also clear up any confusions regarding where the structure is located and how the structure looks like. However, I rarely use visible body. For me, the diagrams on the PowerPoint slides and the physical model demonstration by my TA was sufficient for me to learn the different structures and achieve a good grade.
