The Information Frames:

The design of this project centers around six separate but integrated topics in pelvic anatomy:

    • The Bony Pelvis
    • The Pelvic Musculature
    • The Peritoneum and The Pelvic Floor
    • The Internal Organs
    • The External Structures
    • The Nerves, Circulation, and Lymph Nodes
Each topic is presented in a new computer-assisted instructional format called Information Frames. They structure written content, hyper- linked to related structures or functions in other Frames, along with various selected images in an adjacent multimedia field. The 2D images are from various sources, many from John Gosling, Ian Whitmore' and co-workers Human Anatomy Slide Atlas, and the 3D images were created here at SUMMIT by Wm. LeRoy Heinrichs, and colleagues. These models are different from all others because they are from a cryo- preserved, not embalmed, human specimen, and they are from a reproductive age woman. They are unique, and you are among the first to see them! Enjoy!

You will find information, graphics, queries (with answers) to prompt you to think about the clinical relevance of your anatomy knowledge. This is a 'work-in-progress', so we recognize incomplete areas. We ask for feedback about the Frames, and the queries, to help us improve the project. Our goal is to enhance your visuo-spatial reasoning capabilities.

Amazon Book Description: Still unique in the field, this text combines color photographs and full-color artwork in one convenient resource. The dissections are amazingly clear, almost 3-D in appearance, and color-coded artwork next to each photo makes anatomy easy to interpret and identify.
