There's never been anything like this before: the very first anatomically exact, and complete, three-dimensional, computer-generated reconstruction of actual human anatomy. These amazing color images come to life thanks to the National Library of Medicine's Visible Human Project™. For every structure, the database generates a incredibly detailed "wire frame" image, which then underwent contour mapping for a more realistic picture. First, the systemic anatomy appears: the skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Then, the focus is on the regional anatomy, including the head and neck (with brain, eye, and ear); thorax (with lungs and heart); abdomen (stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, intestines, kidney); pelvis; upper limb (arm, elbow, forearm, hand); and lower limb (thigh, knee, legs, and foot). It's the most fascinating mirror on our own construction ever produced , and will enthrall students, doctors, scientists, and anyone interested in the miracle that is the human body.
