The end of the year/beginning of year is list time, is it not?
So we’re sharing a list of some of our favorite online resources for anatomists:
First up is the incredible archive of beautifully produced videos from The Institute of Human Anatomy. More than 700 videos and 8 million subscribers on YouTube. The information is clearly presented, the graphics and video editing are terrific and, well, you can’t go wrong. Sample titles: “This is What Exercise Does to Your Muscles.” “Do You Know What Coffee Does To Your Brain?” And “Insane Things I’ve Found in Dead Bodies.” “How Your Kidneys Filter Gallons of Blood.”
Then there’s Kenhub—Learn Human Anatomy. More than 700 videos, 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube. These videos feature graphics are tend to be shorter than the videos from The Institute of Human Anatomy. This time we’ll mention the interesting playlists: “Fun Facts About the Human Body.” “Histology for Beginners.” “Study With Me.” “Anatomy Mnemonics.”
The Kenhub folks also have a cool book with great visuals, Atlas of Human Anatomy, if you’re in the market.
You also might find what you’re looking for on the Ninja Nerd YouTube channel. More than 600 videos and 3 million subscribers. Among the most popular: “Cardiovascular | EKG Basics.” “Metabolism | Glycolysis.” “Anatomy of Female Reproductive System.”
Coming at the human body from the perspective of disease is the podcast This Podcast Will Kill You, hosts Erin Welsh and Erin Allmann Updyke are seven seasons (150 seasons, beginning in 2018) into their deep-dive discussions on various diseases and human ailments through a lens of epidemiology. Welsh is a disease ecologist and epidemiologist. Updyke is an epidemiologist, disease ecologist and board-certified Family Medicine physician. You’ll know what interests you as you explore the seasons, but with each episode note the detailed references and links to relevant, historical documents (true attention to detail).
Also, check out a podcast aimed at college students and anyone interest in human anatomy and physiology. It’s called Anatomy & Physiology – Bit By Bit. So far, 47 episodes have been published. The host is Steve Sullivan, a longtime teacher at Bucks County Community College in suburban Philadelphia. Sullivan also posts “help” videos on Instagram (@studenthelp4AP) and has videos on YouTube as well.
