e-Anatomy

This interactive atlas of human heart anatomy is based on medical illustrations and cadaver photography.
The user can decide whether or not to show the anatomical labels which provide a useful tool to create illustrations perfectly adapted for teaching.

Anatomy of the heart: anatomical illustrations and structures, 3D model and photographs of dissection

Some illustrations have been drawn and coloured with Adobe Photoshop.

Heart : Cross sections

Others are based on an adapted 3D model (texturing and modelling) to the study of anatomy.

Heart - Photos

The user will also find at least some cadaver photographs.
Anatomical structures were labelled according to the actual Terminologia Anatomica.

This tool provides access to several medical illustrations, allowing the user to interactively discover heart anatomy. Images are labelled, providing an invaluable medical and anatomical tool. The test mode allows instant evaluation of user progress.

Atlas of human anatomy: Left ventricle, Left atrium, Anterior papillary muscle

Pericardium : Pericardial cavity, Transverse pericardial sinus, Oblique pericardial sinus

The superior horizontal menu bar provides the groups of anatomic labels that the user needs to use (“Anatomical Structures”):
 

• Morphology – pericardium
• Myocardium – fibrous structures
• Left cavities
• Right cavities
• Valves : aortic, mitral tricuspid and pulmonary valves
• Left coronary artery
• Right coronary artery
• Veins
• Conduction system
• Mediastium vessels such as aorta, pulmonary arteries and veins, superior vena cava.

Left atrioventricular valve ; Mitral valve, Aortic valve, Right atrioventricular valve; Tricuspid valve, Pulmonary valve

Conducting system of heart

To the bottom of this module, small images act as an interactive menu and allow the user fast access to the different anatomic views.
This module has been designed for anatomists, radiologists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, medical students and residents.
