Anatomy of the Intestines01:23

Anatomy of the Intestines

Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the small...
Anatomy of the Heart01:27

Anatomy of the Heart

The human heart is made up of three layers of tissue that are surrounded by the pericardium, a membrane that protects and confines the heart. The outermost layer, closest to the pericardium, is the epicardium. The pericardial cavity separates the pericardium from the epicardium. Beneath the epicardium is the myocardium, the middle layer, and the endocardium, the innermost layer. There are four chambers of the heart: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle.

Overview of Anatomy and Physiology

Human anatomy is the scientific study of the body's structures. Some of these structures are very small and can only be observed and analyzed with the assistance of a microscope. Other larger structures can readily be seen, manipulated, measured, and weighed. The word "anatomy" comes from a Greek root that means "to cut apart." Human anatomy was first studied by observing the body's exterior and the wounds of soldiers and other injuries. Later, physicians were allowed to dissect the bodies of...
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System01:26

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System

The human digestive system is an intricate and essential network for nutrient absorption and waste elimination. It encompasses the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and several accessory organs.
Here's a detailed walkthrough of this complex system:

  • Human Anatomy Learning

Background:

  • Traditional anatomical education faces challenges in engagement.
  • Augmented Reality (AR) offers innovative solutions for interactive learning.
  • The AEducAR prototype was developed to address these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the interactive features of the AEducAR augmented reality tool.
  • To evaluate the impact of AEducAR 2.0 on human anatomy learning.
  • To explore student perceptions of AR in medical education.

Main Methods:

  • An interdisciplinary team enhanced the AEducAR prototype to AEducAR 2.0.
  • 130 medical students used AEducAR 2.0 for studying the orbit zone, facial bones, and mimic muscles.
  • Learning outcomes were assessed via quizzes, questionnaires, and interviews.

Main Results:

  • AEducAR 2.0 significantly facilitated learning and boosted student engagement.
  • Students achieved high scores on post-activity quizzes.
  • Student feedback highlighted appreciation for interactive features and the potential of blended learning.

Conclusions:
