I wonder if I could make a model with LED wires to better demonstrate neurone tracts in the nervous system.
AI in anatomy and embryology teaching
I’ve been trying to use machine learning tools (AI, Large Language Models and Transformer Language Models) to see if they could help me teaching anatomy and embryology. Would you like to see what I found?
Knees 2.0
Dave Graham-Woollard came up with this idea of creating knees with ligaments that could be loosened to demonstrate the role of each ligment in a different form of stbility of the knee. We 3D printed knees and used nylon cord with detachable toggles to simulate the ligaments. After feedback from students this year I’ve been working on version 2.0 for the next knee anatomy week.
Your new anatomy AI buddy
Can ChatGPT help you with your anatomy studies? Could it become your next study buddy?
An anatomist tinkers
Making things, like sphenoid bones. Raspberry Pi, Pico, Python, 3D printing, 3D anatomy displays and all sorts go with me alongside teaching anatomy.

New Year entropy
It’s falling apart.
So many knees
Making knees to teach what the ligaments are there for.
Anatomy of things
Taking things apart to look at their parts and work out how they work.
Fail
It’s part of the process.

I need to build a thing to help with my 3D printing at work.
