*From the tiniest veins, arteries and nerves to serial cross-sections of
the spinal cord, these incredibly detailed dissections show and label most
every part of the human
body.*<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissect\

*The collection is the product of a 17-year collaboration between David L.
Bassett, a School of Medicine alumnus and faculty member known for his
elegant dissections and love for the human body, and William Gruber, the
photographer who invented the View-Master stereoscopic viewing
device.*<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-disse\

**
*The partnership between the two resulted in the production of the
Stereoscopic Atlas of Human Anatomy, which began in 1948, but was not not
completed until 1962. It consisted of 221 View-Master reels with 1,554 color
stereo views of dissections of every body region. Each stereo view was
accompanied by a black-and-white, labeled drawing and explanatory
text.*<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissect\

A deep dissection of the side of the head shows the many blood vessels (red
arteries, blue veins) and nerves (graying white) in the facial region. The
hole is the external ear canal. The temporal muscle, used for chewing, is
the prominent fan shaped muscle on the side of skull, behind the mouth and
above the
jaw.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissectio\

The onion-like structure is an eye, seen from above with the bony roof of
the eye socket removed. The profusion of blood vessels and the muscles that
rotate the eye are
visible.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-disse\

A pelvis from a woman, right, is lighter and wider than that of a man,
left. The wider angle of a woman's pubic bones at the base of the pelvis
allows birthing of a
baby.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissecti\

With all layers of the skin removed on the left side of the head and neck,
the dissection displays the blood vessels and nerves of the scalp, almost
all of which come from the periphery, not through the skull. Colored latex
was injected into the blood vessels: red for arteries, blue for veins. The
structures in the neck remain covered by a tough layer of tissue known as
the cervical
fascia.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissec\

Inside the vertebral column, cut in half vertically, is a channel for the
spinal nerves. The brown material is the bones; the white material is the
intervertral disks that sometimes "rupture," causing back pain. A horizontal
split has been made on the left to show the connection of the sacrum, a
triangular bone at the base of the spine, to the
pelvis.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissec\

fingers.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-disse\

the toes, and the blood vessels and nerves to the top of the
foot.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissecti\

This dissection of the backbone was performed by Donald Stilwell, another
Stanford professor, for the Bassett atlas. Note the profusion of arterial
blood vessels nourishing the vertebral area of the neck and chest area.
Also, at the top, the ends of the vertebral arteries, which pass into the
skull to nourish the
brain.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissect\

The mediastinum, a central chest compartment located between the lungs,
houses the heart. Immediately to the right of the heart is the aorta, the
largest artery of the body. To the right of the aorta are groups of blood
vessels (one artery and two companion veins) that run between the ribs to
distribute blood through the body. The phrenic nerve, which sends messages
to the diaphragm to breath, is visible as it crosses the heart
vertically.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-di\

Dissection of the meninges and brain in situ. On the right the calvaria and
layers of the scalp are shown in relation to the dura. On the left the dura
has been cut away to reveal the cerebral hemisphere and cerebellum covered
with the arachnoid membrane. The confluence of the sinuses is
shown.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissect\

The sclera and cornea have been cut away on the medial side of a right eye
to display the anterior chamber, iris, ciliary body and outer surface of the
choroid. Although none of the vessels has been injected, the branches of the
superior and inferior medial vorticose veins are clearly visible. The long
posterior ciliary artery was cut across in the resection of the sclera but
its course can be traced nearly to the ciliary
body.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissecti\

auricle.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-disse\

Dissection of lungs in situ. The lungs have been dissected from their medial
surfaces and are reflected laterally for this image. Fragmentary portions of
all of the chambers of the heart have been preserved. The great vessels have
been kept intact, although the aorta and pulmonary trunk have been elevated
to expose more posterior parts of the
heart.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissect\

The cervical spinal cord. By removing the rear arches of the neck (cervical)
vertebra and the fibrous covering (dura) over the spinal cord one sees the
cervical spinal cord and its nerves. The blood vessels nourishing the cord
and vertebral column and the origin of the cord from the brain are clearly
shown.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissect\

Dissection of thorax from a posterior approach. Ribs and vertebral bodies
have been resected bilaterally between the second and the ninth thoracic
segments. The periosteum which covered the inner surfaces of the ribs have
been preserved in most areas. The anterior longitudinal ligament, with
remnants of the intervertebral discs attached, has also been retained in
part. The lungs have been inflated and are visible through the intact costal
pleura. The proximal parts of the III-VII spinal nerves have been positioned
on the pleura in such a way that their dorsal and ventral roots, dorsal rami
and communications with the sympathetic trunks are visible. These components
are labeled for the left seventh thoracic nerve. The intercostal arteries
and veins have been cut off in various
ways.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-dissecti\

The knee joint opened from the front shows the inner surface of the knee cap
or patella within its large ligament which is folded downward and forward.
The ear shaped cartilages lie on the surface of the joint floor formed by
the tibia. Between the cartilages one sees the cut ends of the cruciate
ligaments so often injured in athletics and frequently reconstructed
surgically.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informative-zone/the-human-body-a-di\
