Landmarks and layers
Connect visible surface landmarks with the position of deeper structures. Use models and dissections to compare anatomical views.
Medical education
Osteopathic and allied health
Study musculoskeletal anatomy and connect surface landmarks with deeper structures. Use 3D material alongside practical teaching in osteopathy, physiotherapy, and allied health courses.
How it works
Connect structure
with anatomical function.
Explore bones, joints, muscles, and tissue layers as a visual reference for functional anatomy teaching.
Select the regionChoose the joint or body region covered in the practical lesson.
Explore the relationshipsRotate and isolate structures to examine their arrangement and connections.
Relate to practical workUse the model to explain landmarks and revisit the anatomy before or after supervised exercises.
In your curriculum
Add a visual reference
to practical courses.
Use anatomy exploration alongside palpation, physical examination, and manual skills teaching.
Practical preparation
Introduce the anatomy before a hands-on exercise and revisit it during discussion. Physical teaching provides the tactile practice.
Connect surface landmarks with deeper anatomy
Functional anatomy teaching requires learners to relate visible landmarks to the structures below them. An anatomical model provides a reference for examining bones, joints, muscles, and surrounding tissues in spatial context. The instructor can introduce the region as a whole before focusing on a particular relationship.
Human dissection material adds a layered reference for the same course topic. The instructor can compare views, identify structures, and explain how neighbouring tissues are arranged. Imaging provides a further representation when the lesson includes cross-sectional anatomy or scan orientation.
These resources complement practical teaching. The visual material explains anatomical organization, while supervised exercises provide the tactile component of palpation, physical examination, and manual skills courses. Their different roles should remain clear within the lesson sequence.
Use the material before and after practical work
Before a practical session, the instructor can introduce the anatomical region and identify the landmarks learners will discuss. Participants can explain structural relationships using the model and connect the terminology with their course material. The extent of the session should follow the practical learning objective.
After the exercise, the group can return to the same views and revisit difficult anatomical relationships. Questions can ask learners to describe the position of a structure or explain how it relates to a surface landmark. This links the visual reference with the debriefing discussion.
Shared sessions and recorded walkthroughs can support teaching across groups and locations. An instructor can demonstrate the region, manage interaction, and preserve the explanation for revision. Learners can then revisit the material alongside their practical instruction and other course resources.
