Anatomy model reserves are available for checkout at the Library Services Desk. Our collection of anatomy models can be browsed by musculoskeletal models and human anatomy models. In addition, index keys are available to identify model parts.
Anatomy- and physiology-based science outreach for K-12 and post-secondary students is a significant component of the Department of Anatomy, Cell Biology and Physiology mission at Indiana University School of Medicine. The department offers group tours of the gross anatomy laboratory, skeletal and anatomical model collections, physiology laboratories and non-human and fossil comparative and functional skeletal collections upon request for authorized educational organizations.
A variety of different tours are available to provide students with a hands-on laboratory experience. A per-student fee collected from these tours help cover graduate student travel costs to attend scientific meetings to present their anatomy and physiology education research. Limited needs-based financial assistance may be available to qualifying groups.
This two-hour gross anatomy lab experience begins with a 30-minute introduction to cadaveric gross anatomy and covers the history of cadaveric dissection. This tour allows students to learn more about how medical schools obtain cadavers and how they are used to educate physicians and other health care professionals. Following the introductory talk, students have an opportunity to work through a series of cadaveric activity stations in the gross lab. Each station emphasizes a different part of the human anatomy, including the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system and digestive system. Students have an opportunity to interact and engage with cadaveric specimens following the guidance and instruction of our medical educators and education graduate students.
Demonstrations of advanced 3D touch-screen visualization technology (BodyViz) and Virtual Reality anatomy learning tools housed in the IU School of Medicine Medical Library are also available on request and with sufficient advanced notice.
Although cadaver-based lab tours are limited to high-school students and above, IU School of Medicine offer comparable non-cadaveric experiences for K-8 students. These tours provide students with hands-on experience with human skeletal materials, anatomical models, preserved sheep organs (brain, heart, lungs etc.), an extensive non-human and fossil comparative skeletal collection as well as exposure to an extensive collection of great ape and fossil human replica casts. Similar to the advanced tours, these tours for elementary and middle-school students can be easily customized for the different curricular needs of individual student groups. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
The Zygote Solid 3D Human Anatomy Model Collection is the most comprehensive and medically accurate solid 3D human body anatomy model available. Trusted by companies like Google and NASA, the entire anatomy collection was created using high-quality CT and MRI scans. Our anatomy models are perfect for engineering and design of orthopedics and medical devices as well as finite element analysis and simulations. If your project requires accurate medical CAD models, the Zygote Human Body Collection contains everything you need. The collection works with all major modeling softwares including:
Every designer and engineer that has interacted with the human body or its anatomy will quickly find that the Zygote Complete Human Anatomy Collection is the most accurate and bug-free anatomical model available today.
Interact Medical has relied on Zygote's Male Anatomy for a number of our 3D animation projects over the past decade. Additionally, many of our interactive projects have utilized both the male and female anatomies, including high profile projects for the biggest names in the medical device market like Baxter, Medtronic, DePuy, GE Healthcare and Ethicon. Also, even non-anatomical custom modeling assignments we have done for biotech 3D animations have used assets from Zygote as backgrounds and transition segments. We are excited to begin using the new 5.0 upgrades from Zygote in upcoming projects, and consider Zygote to be the best resource for 3D anatomical libraries.
Check out the Visible Body Human Anatomy Atlas available electronically from UNE Library Services! With this comprehensive 3D atlas of the human body you can explore interactive 3D models of the human body and access a collection of more than 100 medical animations to review physiology topics and common pathologies.
The Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology is one of Australia's largest collections of human tissue specimens, animal anatomy specimens, and historical anatomical models, offering students and researchers a unique insight into the human body. Although the museum is not normally open to the public, tours of the museum are available for biology and medical professionals and students.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, SpringerLink, and Nature databases were searched systematically for studies published from January 2011 to April 2020 in the English language. GRADEprofiler software was used to evaluate the quality of literature. In this study, a meta-analysis of continuous and binary data was conducted. Both descriptive and statistical analyses were used.
Conclusions: Compared with students in the conventional group, those in the 3D printing group had advantages in accuracy and answering time. In the test of anatomical knowledge, the test results of students in the 3D group were not inferior (higher or equal) to those in the conventional group. The post-training test results of the 3D group were higher than those in the cadaver or 2D group. More students in the 3D printing group were satisfied with their learning compared with the conventional group. The results could be influenced by the quality of the randomized controlled trials. In a framework of ethical rigor, the application of the 3D printing model in human anatomy teaching is expected to grow further.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, medical scientists began to shift their attention from the study of human anatomy to that of pathology, in order to understand the cause and development of certain anomalies. They used wax to make models of the cases studied. You can see a collection of wax models and preparations which were used to study the human body and its pathologies. Enjoy the precise details of these scientific, historical and artistic treasures.
This collection is an accurate three-dimensional treatise on human anatomy, in which man is the subject of investigation. It is composed of works of art which, in the absence of digital reconstructions of a computer (we are still between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries), could replace corpses as didactic tools for teaching anatomy.
The Museum holds 513 urns with human anatomy waxes: each wax model, consisting of one or more pieces, is inside a wooden and glass case. The whole figures are 26, of which 18 are life-size - 6 standing and 12 lying down. The collection is enriched by a set of didactic tables in mixed technique (tempera, watercolour, pencil).
One of the first creations of the ceroplastics workshop in Florence was "La Venere" (Venus) - the only one in the Museum made of dismountable wax parts, where various layers or sections can be removed to reveal underlying body parts including a small fetus.
Another noteworthy item is "Lo Spellato" (The unskinned), full-length wax model in a position reminiscent of Michelangelo's works - in a continuous balance game between art and anatomical teaching tool.
The wax production began in 1771 and after 5 years the 'La Specola' Museum was born by the will of the Grand Duke Peter Leopold of Lorraine: a considerable number of anatomical waxes had already been prepared, thanks to the modeller Giuseppe Ferrini under the guidance of Felice Fontana. Among the most famous waxworks masters of the Florentine school, Clemente Susini and Egisto Tortori: right after Tortori's death (1893) the workshop stopped all activities.
The Video Atlas was originally intended to be used by individual medical and dental students. Because of its realism, simple language, and three-dimensional quality, the Video Atlas has become popular with students and teachers in many other fields and also with people not on a professional learning path who are looking for information about human anatomy. Includes captions.
JoVE Core Anatomy and Physiology showcases the anatomical and physiological details of the human body in comprehensive, clear, and engaging video animations. This collection of lessons focuses on the structures, components, functions, and requirements of the human body. It is complemented by scientist-in-action videos that demonstrate the application of this knowledge in real-world medical and research settings.
Designed to aid vehicle safety technologies' research and development, and developed in cooperation with Toyota Central R&D Labs., Inc., THUMS was the world's first virtual human body model software when it launched in 2000. It enabled simulation and analysis of injuries caused in vehicle collisions. Since then, and up until the latest Version 6 was released last year, it has continually evolved to add a range of models with different genders, ages and physiques that include skeletal structures, brains, internal organs, and muscles. Compared to the physical crash dummies commonly used in vehicle collision tests, THUMS is able to analyze collision-related injuries in more detail, because it precisely models the shapes and durability of human bodies. Conducting simulations on computers also enables repeated analysis of a range of different collision patterns, while it can dramatically reduce development lead times and costs associated with collision testing.
