Transverse sections presented in these pages derive from a copy of the Visible Man dataset maintained at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. Sagittal and coronal sections are used with permission of the NPAC Project. Animations and the software running the interfaces for the annotated images were created by (me) Lynn Bry MD/PhD. Further details concerning the Visible Human may be found at the National Library of Medicine.
