A new method was developed for displaying a wide range of size of specimens and other visual materials in anatomy classes via closed circuit television. The system is contained in two desk units and permits presentation of lecturer, microscopic specimens, microscopic slides, 35mm transparencies, 3 x 4 lantern slides or X-rays, as well as…

A stereoscopic slide-based autoinstructional program has been developed as a substitute for dissection in teaching gross anatomy. Evaluation data suggest that this program, while having minor limitations in terms of anatomical orientation, does provide a viable alternative to dissection. (Editor/LBH)

Explains how simple models of easily assembled materials can help teach the workings of human joints. Provides specific suggestions for demonstrating the structure and operation of fixed joints, slightly movable joints, and freely movable joints. (ML)
