| Name: | The Virtual Body  |
| Overview: | It can be quite difficult to get a close-up look
at a skeleton, a brain, or even the inner
workings of the digestive tract. Students and
others need worry no more, as this very fine
interactive exhibit offers up dynamic images and
cross-sections of these parts of the anatomy and
many more. The site contains four sections,
including "Brain", "Skeleton", "Heart",
and "Digestive Tract". In the "Heart" area,
visitors can learn about the individual parts of
the heart, view an animated heart, and also take
a narrated tour of the heart that will "keep
your heart beating." Moving on, the "Skeleton"
section features the "Bones Narrated" tour,
which will take visitors on a guided tour of the
skeleton and its functions. For those who like
to keep things interactive, there is also
the "Build a Skeleton" feature that will test
their knowledge of the human skeleton.
Additionally, the "Digestive Tract" area
includes a test of organ organization and a trip
through the duodenum and other parts of the
digestive system. The site is also available in
Spanish. |
