The Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory features some of the most cutting-edge equipment and technology available for instruction.
Anatomage convertible virtual-reality cadaver tables
- Life-sized virtual dissection tables provide photorealistic anatomical structures that communicate complex 2D and 3D interactive renderings
- With the touch of a button, images can be peeled, sliced and cross-sectioned, mimicking actual cadaver dissections; images can be cut layer by layer, dissected or reverse-dissected
- Colors and shapes of the virtual cadavers are based on nonchemically treated cadavers, enhancing the realism of the cardiovascular, nervous and muscular structures
- Imaging software accommodates four cadavers — two female, two male — that can be dissected an infinite number of times in the learning environment
- Tables can be positioned horizontally or vertically
- Anatomage tables can be connected to projectors and used during lectures
- Screen captures and video clips can be saved and shared with students
SynDaver synthetic silicone human anatomy models
- High-fidelity, full-sized, head-to-toe anatomical models provide an authentic look and feel of human cadavers
- Synthetic silicone human anatomy models mimic accuracy in muscular, skeletal, nervous, vascular and visceral organ systems
- SynDavers allow students hands-on access to tissues that feel real while helping them increase their confidence in studying human anatomy
- SynDaver models sit atop dissection platforms — stainless steel tables with recessed tabletops on casters with brakes
BIOPAC human physiology teaching system
- Human physiology systems enable teaching of cardiovascular, respiratory and pulmonary function; muscular, nerve conduction, neurophysiology, autonomic nervous system, exercise physiology and biomechanics using dynamic experiments
- System enables students to do everything from recording their own electrocardiographic (ECG) and electromyographic (EMG) data to fine-tuning their ability to accurately record their classmate’s blood pressure
- Students can connect themselves (or classmates) to the system, enabling visualization of their physiology, including blood pressure, EKG, muscle activity, nerve conduction, reflexes
- BIOPAC enables students to conduct dynamic experiments with themselves as subjects, increasing their interest and retention and developing critical-thinking skills
Teaching models
The Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory also uses a variety of teaching models:
- Skeletons
- Bone and joint models
- Arm and leg models
- Nervous and circulatory system models
