Interactive Functional Anatomy, 2nd Edition

Synopsis

A 3D digital resource of the gross anatomy of the entire human body. Text guides the user through the functions of the musculoskeletal system, using a high resolution 3D anatomy model and links to interactive animations of muscle function and common activities.

Contains a complete 3D model of the entire skeleton with muscles, ligaments, bones, arteries, and nerves, all presented in eight different views. Through the use of advanced medical imaging and computer graphic techniques, every visible feature has been labelled and provides access to an extensive range of full text articles on bones, muscles, and ligaments. Each article describes proximal and distal attachments, blood supply, innervation, function in open and closed kinetic chain, and common injuries. Also incorporates a wide selection of interactive functions and advanced animations. Each 3D anatomical feature and its corresponding text article provides a link to attachments, patient information, surface anatomy movies, and 3D animations of muscle function, that can be fully rotated. Moreover, a selection of complex interactive animations, based on motion capture data and electromyography, has been included, which show gross motor movements, such as push ups, and walking.

This second edition of the original 2002 program includes larger images, the ability to export all animations of muscular function as video clips, new angles and views of anatomy, and 27 new animations of muscular function

Notes

Primal Pictures has created the only complete and medically accurate 3D anatomical model of the human body. It is derived from genuine medical scan data that has been interpreted by a team of anatomists and then translated into three-dimensional images by a team of graphics specialists. Models can be rotated and layers of anatomy added or removed. The anatomy visuals are accompanied by three-dimensional animations that demonstrate function, biomechanics and surgical procedures. To supplement the core three-dimensional anatomy data are clinical videos and text written by leading medical specialists. Resources are grouped in the areas of acupuncture, anatomy & physiology, dentistry, detailed human anatomy, functional anatomy, head & neck, pelvic floor, pilates, radiology, real time anatomy, speech language pathology, spine, sports & therapy, surgery, urology. of software is unique because of its accuracy and detail. The resources are available online to subscribers via Athens/Shibboleth login at www.anatomy.tv/ or for sale on DVD-ROM.
