Online Resources for Head and Neck Anatomy

Katherine Morley

While the usual offerings on our skull menu are unavailable, as we’re currently unable to lend physical anatomy models, we invite you to take advantage of the virtual anatomy tools in our collection during this time of distance learning. For medical neuroanatomy and dental anatomy, we have some excellent resources to explore the head and neck virtually!

A note about remote access: if you’re off campus, remember to access resources from the HHSL website. That way, you’ll be prompted to sign in whenever accessing a licensed resource available to you through the library.

AnatomyTV

Anatomy.TV by Primal Pictures is a database of images comprised of 3D, interactive anatomy and physiology models. The screen capture below is from Primal Pictures’ 3D Atlas.
