Teaching Anatomy and Physiology Using Computer-Based, Stereoscopic Images

Journal of College Science Teaching – January/February 2007

Learning real three-dimensional (3D) anatomy for the first time can be challenging. Two dimensional drawings and plastic models tend to over-simplify the complexity of anatomy. The approach described uses stereoscopy to create 3D images of the process of cadaver dissection and to demonstrate the underlying anatomy related to the speech mechanisms.
