The nine topics covered are:

• Terms and Tissues
• Musculoskeletal System
• Cardiovascular System
• Digestive System
• Nervous System
• Respiratory System
• Integumentary System
• Urinary System
• Reproductive System

Each module has images of nearly all of the specimens presented in that lab. Clicking on items in a list of anatomical structures accompanying each image provides pop-up labels on the image and additional text information about that structure. Each module has an index page organized into several subtopics with links to each image.

Image pages allow you to view and identify various features on a particular specimen. They are titled at the upper left with the subtopic, specimen, and magnification. (EM = electron micrograph, LM = light micrograph, or Gross; each relatively described by high, medium or low) A Structure List appears to the left of the image. It contains particular structures that can be found on the image. Clicking a structure will label it in green on the list and on the image. A text description appears below each image. This description may change as different structures are selected from the list.
