Mention studying anatomy to many people and the thoughts of dissected frogs and formaldehyde make them shiver and want to run. That’s a shame. The study of anatomy is fascinating and doesn’t have to be gross.<\/p>\n

Thanks to new virtual anatomy resources, we can turn our computers and tablets into science labs and explore the world of anatomy and physiology without getting our hands dirty. Here are some of my favorite virtual tools for studying anatomy. Remember to pin this post to use later with your students.<\/p>\n

Anatomy Apps<\/h2>\n

My Incredible Body App<\/a>.\u00a0 This app contains stunning 3D images taking students on a journey through the human body and its systems. It\u00a0is available on iTunes and Google Play.<\/p>\n
