Summary:
"You'll look inside the human body as never before, discovering your gross anatomy, the parts of the body that can be seen with the unaided eye, and your macroscopic body. You will view graphics, photos, videos, and the digital autopsy table called "Anatomage," to help your understanding of the topics covered. Professor Elizabeth A. Murray takes you on a 24-lecture journey through the major regions of the body in all their complex grandeur. It's safe to say that you've never seen anything like this!"
