About the Course

WARNING: THESE VIDEOS CONTAIN IMAGES OF HUMAN DISSECTION. MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME. Human structure is important to all of us as it has been for millennia. Artists, teachers, health care providers, scientists and most children try to understand the human form from stick figure drawings to electron microscopy. Learning the form of people is of great interest to us – physicians, nurses, physician assistants, emergency medical services personnel and many, many others. Learning anatomy classically involved dissection of the deceased whether directly in the laboratory or from texts, drawings, photographs or videos. There are many wonderful resources for the study of anatomy. Developing an understanding of the human form requires significant work and a wide range of resources. In this course, we have attempted to present succinct videos of human anatomy. Some will find these images to be disturbing and these images carry a need to respect the individual who decided to donate their remains to benefit our teaching and learning. All of the dissections depicted in the following videos are from individuals who gave their remains to be used in the advancement of medical education and research after death to the Yale School of Medicine. The sequence of videos is divided into classic anatomic sections. Each video has a set of learning objectives and a brief quiz at the end. Following each section there is another quiz covering the entire section in order for you to test your knowledge. We hope these videos will help you better understand the human form, make time that you may have in the laboratory more worthwhile if you have that opportunity and help you develop an appreciation of the wonderful intricacies of people. ANATOMY OF THE CHEST, NECK, ABDOMEN, AND PELVIS WAS PRODUCED IN PART DUE TO THE GENEROUS FUNDING OF THE DAVID F. SWENSEN FUND FOR INNOVATION IN TEACHING.

I attained so much knowledge from this course moreso than a whole semester of structure and function. The cadaver videos were the most helpful.You truly cannot learn anatomy from just a text book.

Very good course: contains schematic view of anatomy, embryological development, clinical examination and dissections. Each week has its subject and you can test your knowledge with the quizes and practical exams. Would definitely recommend it for every student Medicine or Health Care!

Worth the time for the video alone. Gives a great appreciation for what surgeons

"see". Textbooks typically rely too heavily on nice, distinct colors. The videos show how easy it could be to mistake one structure for another.

i enjoyed this course and learned much. Sometimes because you weren't actually on site and touching and moving the structures on the donor, it was difficult to retain what was anterior or posterior or lateral to what.

Very informative. Enjoyed having the dissection videos to show in person what it's like instead of just animations. Wish the course was a little longer and spread out, with more detail in each section.

There are errors due to which it is impossible to complete the course completely. Accordingly, your payment for the course will go into the void.

The rest is an excellent presentation of the material.
