Interactive Anatomy
The study of anatomy has become more interesting with the help of interactive study programs. Below are some of the best ones we've found on the Internet. Some of the modules cover the entire body and others specialize in specific areas of the body such as the ear or the hand. If you're studying anatomy or biology, be sure to visit these excellent sites.
The eSkeletons Project
This is a totally cool site for anyone interested in human anatomy. Not only can you view any of the bones in the body from all view points, you can also view insertion, articulations, origins, and morphology when applicable. Their bone viewer makes this a fascinating exploration. One of the other cool things you can do on this site is view comparative anatomy of humans, baboons, and gorillas. Choose the bone, view, and species and the two bones will be shown side by side.

Although we haven't recommended many subscription based sites, this is an exception. If you are seriously studying anatomy as a pre-med student or biologist, then you may want to take a look at this site. The interactive illustrations of the body are incredibly thorough and the descriptions are extensive. This is an excellent resource.
