Acland's DVD Atlas of Human Anatomy

A set of six DVDs, this remarkable and beautifully produced DVD anatomy atlas explore the fundamental structures of the Musculoskeletal System, the Head and Neck, and the Internal Organs.

DVD 1: The Upper Extremity

DVD 2: The Lower Extremity

DVD 3: The Trunk

DVDs 4 and 5: The Head and Neck, Parts 1 and 2

DVD 6: The Internal Organs

These DVDs 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 DVD Atlas uses fresh, un-embalmed specimens that retain the color, texture, mobility—and beauty—of the living human body. A concise synchronized narration runs throughout the program. As each new structure is shown, its name appears on the screen. There is a self-testing feature at the end of each section. Specific content can be accessed through detailed searches of the index and table of contents.

• For students, Acland's DVD 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.

• For clinicians in training and in practice, it assures a swift renewal of anatomic knowledge.

• For teachers, Acland's DVD Atlas shortens the time needed to provide immediate, satisfying explanations of three-dimensional structure.

Dr. Robert Acland is a professor emeritus in the Department of Anatomical Sciences at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. He gained his expertise in instructional video during his first career, as a pioneer and teacher of microsurgical techniques. In his second career as a clinical anatomist, Dr. Acland directs his school's renowned Fresh Tissue Dissection Laboratory, where he teaches anatomy to students and surgeons, and pursues anatomical research. Working with fresh, unembalmed cadavers, Dr. Acland has pioneered new and highly effective techniques of anatomical videography that give the viewer a clear three-dimensional understanding of spatial relationships.
