    Do you use anatomy.tv by Primal Pictures? If you don’t know, anatomy.tv is a huge, commercial online resource of annotated computer models of human anatomy. The models are all derived from real anatomy, as far as I know. It is an expensive resource, but very useful. Rhiannon and I have been putting together some worksheets…
