The Heart

 Every one at GMC, by now must be quite thorough with the Heart.  So test your self  by visiting this website http://thevirtualheart.org/.  Feel free to move the mouse around on the Heart spinning at the middle of the home page...

Medical Animations

The World Wide Web is the largest resource for Medical students. There are several websites out there waiting to be explored.....

In my previous posts, I have mentioned about visiblebody.com .  It is the perfect guide for anatomy and  also a replacement for Atlases.

There is  another sister website of Visible body , with the url  http://www.argosymedical.com/index.html .

This website has got animations related to the several systems of our body......

 Now is the right time to view the animation of the sectioned  heart  provided by the website as we at GMC have reached the end of thorax.

Not only have they showed the functioning of the Valves but have also coupled the conducting system  with it....  the out come is a  masterpiece.

Several clinical procedures have also been animated. 

Hope you find it useful.
