The fourth disk in this remarkable and beautifully
produced video anatomy atlas is the first of two disk that explore the
fundamental structures of the Head and Neck. Disk 4 consists of five sections,
describing: Support and Movement of the Head, the Skull and Facial Skeleton, the
Nasal Cavity and its Surroundings, the Oral Cavity and its Surroundings, and the
Larynx and its Surroundings. The disks show you true images of real,
exquisitely dissected human anatomical specimens, in three dimensions. As
the camera moves from one viewpoint to another, the specimen appears to rotate
in space, letting the viewer experience it as a three dimensional object.
Acland's Video Atlas uses fresh, unembalmed specimens that retain the color,
texture, mobility--and beauty--of the living human body. A concise synchronized
narration runs throughout the video. As each new structure is shown, its name
appears on the screen. There is a self-testing feature at the end of each
section. A visible time signal shows where you are in the program. The reference
booklet gives you both an alphabetic and a chronologic index, with time
locations for each structure. For students, Acland's Video Atlas is a
time-saving aid to first-time learning, an effective way to relearn anatomy for
clinical rotations, and a time-efficient tool for review at test time. For
clinicians in training and in practice it assures a swift renewal of anatomic
knowledge. For teachers Acland's Video Atlas shortens the time needed to
provide immediate, satisfying explanations of three-dimensional structure.
"I teach Kinesiology to PTA students...an absolute
must for any non-cadaver course in Anatomy or Kinesiology" --Williams H.
Staples, MS, PT, GCS Ivy Tech State College (1997)"One of the best, cleanest
presentations in gross anatomy I have ever seen."--Dr. K. Jackson Thomas,
Medical University of South Carolina (1998)
Now available in DVD format, this product represents Robert Acland's
painstaking efforts to bring human anatomy to life by teaching it in real-time
using fresh tissues. The conversion from video to DVD provides features
including searchable video images and a main menu, table of contents, index, and
a glossary of anatomical terms. The advantages of these new features include
greater accessibility and ease of navigation, improved speed and efficiency, and
high-resolution images.
