Use Visible Body to complement your textbook and classroom-based learning. The technology allows you to zoom, pan, rotate and dissect the 3D models of the 12 body systems (Cells & Tissue, Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Endocrine, Circulatory, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary and Reproductive).

CCCU subscribes to two Visible Body pacakages and you will see both listed in LibrarySearch under the ‘Find Databases A-Z’ option.

You have access to Visible Body A&P which includes the 3D anatomy and physiology modules.

Plus Visible Body Premium which contains the following:

• Human Anatomy Atlas – a general reference tool with a 3D visualisation tool allowing viewers to explore systems in the human body.
• Speciality modules – Muscle, Skeleton and Heart & Circulatory – where viewers can take a comprehensive walk through various complicated systems of the body by way of 3D models, interactive presentations, quick movies and visually stunning images.

• Go to LibrarySearch or access it via the University Services on your Blackboard.
• Log in using your CCCU username and password. If you are away from campus, or connecting with your own device over Wi-Fi, you will need to include @canterbury.ac.uk after your CCCU username.
