Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy is an online resource for students to use as a learning tool. Created by the late Dr. Robert Acland, the video atlas not only serves as a preview, but as a tool for revision and a companion to dissection.

Acland’s provides students and medical practitioners with three-dimensional (3D)tools, specifically videos to aid learning. These videos serve not only as introductions to the various parts of human anatomy, but allows students to view and study the anatomical structures in 3D.
