Click the 3D cadaver image on the left.

Use the Move and Rotate tools to adjust the position of the 3D cadaver. You can find these tools in the ribbon of tools above the cross-sections and 3D panels.

If ​the Rotate tool is selected, left-mouse click and drag the mouse ​in the direction you wish to rotate the 3D cadaver. Right-mouse click ​and drag to move the position of the 3D cadaver in the panel.

Select the ​move tool and see what happens to the 3D cadaver when ​you left and right-mouse click.

When the ​cursor is in the 3D panel you can rotate the 3D cadaver ​with the up, down, left, and right arrow keys. It does not matter which tool is selected.

Use the scroll wheel on the mouse, or ​two finger swipe on the track pad, to zoom in or out of the 3D ​cadaver

Click the cross-section images on the left. From top to bottom you are looking at the transverse, sagittal and coronal cross-section planes

These images are in standard radiological ​orientation. Look at the transverse image. It is as though you are looking up through the patient’s feet.

When the cursor is in the transverse panel, use the ​up arrow key to scroll superiorly through the images, or the ​down arrow key to scroll inferiorly through the images.

Move your cursor to the sagittal cross-section image and use the ​up or down arrow keys to go right or left through the images. ​

Move your cursor to the coronal image. What ​direction are you moving through the body when you use the ​up and down arrow keys to scroll through the images?

Now, left- mouse ​click and drag one of cross-sections image within its window and ​notice how the other two cross-sections move as well. Notice the intersection of the cross-sections, the same anatomy is in focus in all three planes.

Use the scroll wheel on the mouse, or two ​finger swipe on the track pad, to zoom in or out of the images. ​When you have a view of all three cross-sections,

You can look at an isolated view of one of the cross-section images by double-clicking with your mouse. Now ​double mouse click the cross-section image to return to the view ​of all three cross-section in the panel. Make sure the Move or Rotate tool is selected when you want to enlarge a particular cross-section.

Click the image on the left. Select the Dissect tool and hover your mouse cursor over the ​right Deltoid muscle on the 3D cadaver (hint: it’s highlighted ​pink). What do you notice at the top of the 3D panel? ​Left-mouse click on the muscle to dissect it off the 3D cadaver. ​Hover the cursor over other structures or click on 3D structures to ​dissect them off the 3D cadaver. Observe the text at the top of ​the 3D panel.

Now, hover your cursor over the ​transverse cross-section image and notice the text at the top of ​the panel. Locate the right deltoid muscle on the cross-section ​image and left- mouse click to add this muscle on the 3D ​cadaver; left-mouse click on the muscle again (on the cross-​section image) to dissect the muscle from the 3D cadaver. Click ​on other arm muscles visible in the cross-section image to ​remove/add them on the 3D cadaver.

Click the image on the left. Now select the highlight tool and hover your mouse cursor over the ​left Pectoralis Major muscle on the 3D patient (hint: it’s ​highlighted pink). Can you locate the identification text? What ​happens when you left-mouse click on this highlighted muscle? ​Left-mouse click again. Can you locate this highlighted muscle ​on the sagittal cross-section image? What do you notice when ​you hover your cursor over structures on the cross-section ​image? What happens when you left-mouse click on structures ​in the cross-section images?

Click the image on the left. Select the skin tool and slide the bar to the right to increase the ​opacity of the skin on the 3D cadaver. As you increase the ​opacity of the skin to 100% notice the surface landmarks and ​tattoos visible.. With the skin at ~30% opacity, ​select the highlight or dissect tool and examine the bones deep ​to the skin. What happens when you click on a bone with the ​dissect or highlight tool enabled?

Click the image on the left then open the Anatomy tool.

The index list is an alphabetized list of all 3D anatomy in the VH ​Dissector. Scroll through the list, or use the search field, to find ​a specific structure. Use the eyeball to add or remove 3D ​anatomy in its normal coloring. Use the sunburst to add and ​highlight or un-highlight 3D anatomy. Locate the trachea in this ​list and select the sunburst to add and highlight it on the 3D ​cadaver. You can close the anatomy tool by clicking on the ​Anatomy tool icon. Return to the index list and find internal ​jugular veins (hint: type “jugular” in the search field). De-select ​the sunburst next to left and right internal jugular veins to un-​highlight the 3D anatomy. Find the common carotid arteries ​(hint: type “carotid” in the search field) and deselect the eyeball ​next to left and right common carotid arteries to remove these ​3D structures. Examine the 3D cadaver when you are done using ​the Anatomy tool.

Click the image on the left then open the Anatomy tool and select Regions.

The Regions list provides regional lists of groups of anatomical ​structures. When you expand a specific body region list, you will ​see all the anatomical components that make up that body ​region. Use the eyeball to add or remove 3D anatomy in its ​normal coloring. Use the sunburst to highlight or un-​highlight 3D anatomy.

Find and expand the “Thorax” region; ​expand thoracic skeleton and de-select the eyeball next to the ​sternum and left ribs to remove this 3D anatomy. Close the ​anatomy tool by clicking on the anatomy tool icon.

Return to ​the Regions list and expand “Viscera of the Thorax” list. Add the ​trachea and bronchi (hint: select the eyeball). Expand the ​bronchi list and expand the right main bronchus list, highlight ​the superior, middle and inferior lobar bronchi. Examine the 3D ​cadaver when you are done using the Anatomy tool.

Click the image on the left then open the Anatomy tool and select Systems.

The systems list provides systemic lists of groups of anatomical ​structures. When you expand a specific system list, you will see ​all the anatomical components that make up that system. Use ​the eyeball to add or remove 3D anatomy in its normal coloring. ​Use the sunburst to add and highlight or un-highlight 3D ​anatomy. Find and expand “Skeletal System”, remove the ribs ​and sternum of the thoracic skeleton but be sure the entire ​vertebral column is visible. Close the anatomy tool by clicking ​on the anatomy tool icon. Return to the systems list and expand ​“Nervous System > Peripheral Nervous System”. Add and ​highlight the peripheral spinal nerves. How would you add the ​aortic arch and its arterial branches? Can you figure out how to ​highlight the subclavian artery and its branches on the 3D ​cadaver? Examine the 3D patient when you are done using the ​Anatomy tool.
