HSLS now subscribes to Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy

Pitt users can access the platform through PittCat and HSLS Databases A-Z.

Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy uses fresh, unembalmed specimens that retain the color, texture, and mobility of the living human body. Narrated by world-renowned anatomist Dr. Robert Acland, Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy is organized into 5 volumes by body region (Upper Extremity; Lower Extremity; Trunk; Head and Neck; and Internal Organs) and contains nearly 330 videos (for which individual links and PDF transcripts are available) showing a three-dimensional and rotational view of anatomical structures. The platform also includes a glossary, A-Z index, and self-assessment exams (which require a personal account).

Students and instructors may also find that the cadaver-based content of Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy complements the computer-generated content of Complete Anatomy (licensed by Pitt IT). A video overview/tutorial of Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy is available at https://lippincottdiscovery.com/pages/aclands_video_tutorial.aspx.
