Learning anatomical terminology is one of the first challenges students encounter in an anatomy class. Before students can describe the location of a bone or organ, they need a common language for identifying areas of the body. This Body Regions Anatomy Activity gives students a visual and approachable way to learn these important terms. Rather […] The post Learn the Anatomical Regions of the Bod…

IntroductionThe horse has a highly gyrencephalic cerebrum; however, detailed references of equine cortical surface anatomy remain limited, and terminology inconsistencies continue to complicate comparative, clinical, and educational applications. This research focused on creating a standardized, high-resolution, color-coded atlas of equine brain sulci and gyri, based on the Nomina Anatomica Veter…

Your fingers’ lengths are just one feature of many that let your hands grasp, press, pull and otherwise interact with the world.

Leonardo’s interest in the human form and replicating human bodily movement foreshadow ideas present in modern robotics.

It’s all in the hips The post The Wonders of the Male Human Pelvis appeared first on Nautilus .

The human nuchal ligament helps stabilize the head during running and leaves an indirect trace in early Homo skulls, but one feature cannot prove ancient behaviour.

Researchers hope their new study will act as the “starting point of clitoris science” and help us better understand female sexual organs.

Gunther von Hagens, who invented plastination, a method of preserving bodies by replacing their natural fluids with polymers, recently died at age 81

The musculoskeletal system (MSK) is often one of the first areas where students begin to appreciate the connection between structure and function in medicine. Bones, muscles, joints, nerves, and connective tissues support posture, protect vital organs, assist with circulation, and influence nearly every physical interaction a patient has with the world. At St. George’s University […] The post Mov…

Your spine is slowly squeezing itself flat every waking hour, returning the lost millimeters only once you lie down.

The internal iliac artery (IIA) and superior gluteal artery (SGA) are major vascular structures of the pelvis and gluteal region. Anatomical variations of these vessels may influence pelvic surgery, reconstructive procedures, and endovascular interventions. However, detailed anatomical data in the Vietnamese population remain limited. This study aims to describe the origin, branching patterns, mo…

BackgroundThe human cochlea is a fragile, spiral-shaped sensory organ for hearing that is deeply embedded within the dense otic capsule bone, making accurate post-mortem anatomical studies difficult when using conventional histological approaches requiring sectioning. X-ray microscopy (XRM) is a non-destructive radiological imaging modality that combines geometric and optical magnification to ach…
