Body Planes

Body Planes

Body planes in anatomy are imaginary flat surfaces used as reference points to divide the body into sections for anatomical study. These planes are essential for understanding the orientation, relationships, and spatial organization of anatomical structures.
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...

Molecular Models

Molecular Models

Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Anatomical Sciences
Digital Learning Tools

Background:

The Visually Memorable Regional Anatomy (VMRA) book offers schematic figures and concise knowledge.
The Visible Korean (VK) project reconstructed 297 detailed 3D head surface models.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of integrating schematic figures with 3D surface models on anatomy learning.

Main Methods:

A portable document format (PDF) file was created by embedding 19 pages of VK 3D head models into the VMRA book.
This interactive PDF served as a learning resource for medical students at two universities.

Main Results:

The free PDF resource was accessed globally, with users from Korea, the US, and Hungary.
Students found the combined PDF helpful for understanding anatomy and cadaver dissection, appreciating the ability to compare models and schematics.
A low positive correlation was observed between usage hours and examination scores at one university.

Conclusions:

The freely accessible PDF effectively enhances anatomy education by providing an interactive and accurate learning tool.
This integrated approach facilitates easier and more comprehensive understanding of complex anatomical structures.
