General Uses Content Contact  Click the "Take the Tour" button on Visible Body home page to view movies of the key features of Visible Body and step-by-step instructions on using it. back to top Visible Body is the result of years of development and collaboration between our specially trained team of biomedical visualization experts and software engineers.
back to top While both products are based on the same 3D human anatomy model, the web subscription and the iPad 2 app must be purchased separately. As we are continuously upgrading both versions, please see our comparison chart to view the current differences between the two versions. back to top We look forward to discussing any partnership ideas you might have. Please email partners@visiblebody.com to discuss partnership opportunities. back to top Customizations of Visible Body are available to corporations, publishers, universities, and other potential partners. Visible Body can be customized to include specialized visual or textual content to complement product marketing material, new or existing Web sites, curricula, textbooks, or other print or electronic platforms. Customizations can include specialized anatomical or product-specific content, as well as animations showing processes in action at the macroscopic, cellular, or molecular levels. For further information, please email sales@visiblebody.com. back to top Visible Body is available as a web subscription product that requires an internet connection and as an iPad app for the iPad 2.

Is there a version with no nudity (skin) and/or reproductive system for use with less mature audiences? A "G-rated" version of Visible Body is currently in development. In the meantime, users can avoid adding the Integumentary and Reproductive Systems.
back to top Visible Body is the most complete, highly detailed, and anatomically accurate human body model available. It is designed to deliver the level of detail necessary to teach a college-level Anatomy and Physiology course.
All anatomical content has been reviewed for accuracy by our panel of experts, including physicians and anatomists. Please see the release notes for a list of current structures. back to top You may be looking for an anatomical structure under its common name rather than its technical name. For example, searching for "knee cap" won't produce a result of "patella" -- the knee cap's technical name. We plan to include common-name searching in a future release.
Please see the release notes for a list of current structures. back to top We have combined several styles in wide use across Anatomy and Physiology and medical textbooks and Web sites; we use American English spelling.
When possible, we include additional information in the names to aid with searching and to facilitate understanding. For example, "premolar" is used instead of "bicuspid" to describe the appropriate teeth, but we include "bicuspid" and the numbers commonly used to identify each tooth in parentheses. back to top
Why are some organs normally considered to be parts of two body systems only listed in one body system? To keep the menu easy to use and because of some technical limitations we are currently listing each organ in only one system. For example, the pancreas is listed in the Digestive System and not the Endocrine System, where it could also be listed. Other examples include the ovaries (we've chosen the Reproductive over the Endocrine System) and the neurohypophysis (we've chosen the Nervous System over the Endocrine System).
back to top Visible Body geometry features one-sided textures to improve download times and performance. Some anatomical structures will seem to work like a one-way mirror: you will see a "reflection" from one side, but you will see straight through the other side as though the object isn't there. We are currently working on improving certain areas where this effect may be confusing.
back to top The models that make up Visible Body have been optimized for use on the Web while maintaining the highest level of detail possible. Some small gaps and visual anomalies in the anatomy are generated during the Web-optimization process. We are continually striving for the best balance between performance, accuracy, and aesthetics.
