Anatomy Arcade

Anatomy Arcade is an interactive site to help students learn anatomy. It has free Flash games, interactives, and videos and is geared towards novice teenagers up to professionals.

The games are organized by type of game or by body system. There are also other links, an area for students, and an area for teachers. The games are fun, well-designed, and educational.

Medical Animations

The University of Pennsylvania Health System has a great web site with medical animations. The animations show and explain many different medical problems, anatomy and physiology and the human body.

As I viewed different animations I quickly realized how useful this can be in a classroom. Health, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Emergency Medical Technician, Paramedic, Pre-med and Nursing students will all find this site useful as they learn about the human body and it's systems. 

The site is easy to navigate, with a listing of all of the animations on one page. They are sorted by topic/body system. There are animations about each body system, diseases, pregnancy, surgeries, and medical problems.

You will need to make sure you have Adobe Flash, Adobe Shockwave, and Quicktime installed on your computer to view the animations.

Great Free Anatomy Resource

I just found this great site today - Visible Body. It is a 3D view of the human body that allows you to add or subtract different systems, rotate and zoom, and really explore the human body. I will be using this with my EMT classes and have been telling other medical instructors and A&P teachers about it.
