Human Anatomy Lab

One of the most significant resources available in the lab are the donors, which serve as the foundation for cadaver-based education for all levels of students. Whole body donation allows future health care professional students to master the complexity of human anatomy in a way that technology cannot provide.

The lab also has a collection of plastinated specimens that use a unique preservation method to provide students with specimens that will last a lifetime. These specimens include a full-size donor, pelvic regions, lungs, heart, upper and lower limbs, and many others.

The lab has a Sectra Table, which offers a virtual dissector and an educational portal. 

• Virtual 3-D Dissector - The virtual dissector allows students the ability to manipulate and rotate images of the human body to dissect, highlight, and observe cross-sections at different levels (planes) of the body. This tool enables students to have a better understanding of the internal structures of the body and to learn how they function as a unit. Moreover, students can access the educational modules created by faculty on their handheld devices while they are away from the classroom setting. 
  
• Educational Portal - The portal has a large database of X-rays, angiograms, MRI's, CT scans that allow students to view images of normal and pathological states to help train them to recognize the important relationships in anatomy.

Our lab also offers bone boxes, X-rays and various pathologies for students to use as resources. The combination of these physical resources and cutting-edge technology provides students with a comprehensive learning experience that prepares them for their careers in healthcare.
