This disk features the thoracic, abdominal and
reproductive organs. Each organ is shown in its natural location as well as in
isolation, using a technique which enables the viewer to see organs as if they
were weightlessly suspended in space, allowing a 360 degree view of the true
shape of the structure without the distorting effects of gravity. Shots show the
outer surface of the organs as well as cut-aways that present internal
structure. Fresh, unembalmed specimens retain the color, texture, and mobility
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. A visible
time signal shows where the user is in the program. The enclosed reference
booklet gives the user both an alphabetic and a chronologic index, with time
locations for each structure. Self-testing features appear at the end of each
section.
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.
