Who Is AclandAnatomy.com Intended For?
Medical and dental students.
In first-year studies, the Video Atlas is productive and time efficient
as a preview, as an adjunct to dissection, and as a review tool. It is
also helpful for students who need to re-learn clinically relevant
anatomy for their surgical rotations. Since surgeons in training
must re-learn anatomy at many stages in their careers the Video
Atlas is popular with interns and residents in surgical specialties.
Medical practitioners.
Practicing surgeons and physicians value the Video Atlas as a quick
way to renew their anatomical knowledge, and also as a way to
help their patients understand an ailment, injury, or procedure.
Allied Health students.
The Video Atlas is widely used by students and teachers in nursing,
physical and occupational therapy, kinesiology, and massage
therapy. For students who don't have access to dissection facilities,
the Video Atlas provides an appreciation of the real human body
and a direct understanding of the mechanics of body movement.
Secondary and undergraduate students.
The Video Atlas is used in many high school and undergraduate
anatomy classes. The videos can be understood without any prior
knowledge of anatomy. The narration is delivered in simple,
everyday language, apart from the necessary use of the anatomical
names of structures.

Unique Features
Fresh human specimens in their natural colors
The Video Atlas images are direct video recordings of real human
anatomic specimens. The cadavers used were not stiffened or
discolored by embalming. Their tissues retain the color, texture, and
mobility of the living body.
Real movement
Besides showing the structure of the human body in its natural beauty,
the Video Atlas shows moving structures - muscles, tendons and joints making the same movements that they make in life.
Exquisite dissection
The dissections were done by skilled clinical anatomists, using the finest
surgical techniques. Studio lighting accentuates the shape and
definition of the structures. A black background enhances their outline.
Building complex structures step-by-step
In each part of the body, the Video Atlas starts with structures that give
you the foundation for your understanding. The bones are shown first,
then joints and their movements, then the muscles, and then the blood
vessels and nerves. This is the reverse of the order that is seen in
dissection, where the foundation is not understood until the end.

Who Is Dr. Acland?
Dr. Robert Acland is a professor emeritus in
the Department of Anatomical Sciences at
the University of Louisville School of
Medicine. He gained his expertise in
instructional video during his first career, as a
pioneer and teacher of microsurgical
techniques. In his second career as a clinical
anatomist, Dr. Acland directs his school's
renowned Fresh Tissue Dissection
Laboratory, where he teaches anatomy to
students and surgeons, and pursues
anatomical research. Working with fresh,
unembalmed cadavers, Dr. Acland has
pioneered new and highly effective
techniques of anatomical videography that
give the viewer a clear three-dimensional
understanding of spatial relationships.
