In this course, we will be working through some of the labs that incorporate use of the
Biodigital Human software.
The Biodigital Human is a 3D interactive body that includes thousands of anatomical structures.
I have developed a number of custom labs for this course using the Biodigital human.
Let's take a look at one to see how it works.
One of the labs for Bio202 is the nervous system lab.
To open the lab click on Read More You will see some reading material followed
be a screen containing a digital model.
You can work with the model by clicking directly in the window.
Here I am clicking and dragging to rotate the model.
You can also use the mouse thumbwheel to enlarge or shrink the model.
Notice the black button at the lower right corner of the screen.
Clicking on this object displays a number of tools you can use to manipulate or dissect
the model.
I would strongly recommend using the View in a New Window function as this allows you
to better see and work with the model.
Let's go through some of the tools.
For moving the model you can use the pan or orbit tools.
The pan tool allows you to click and drag the model in the screen.
The orbit tool allows you to rotate the model in a variety of ways.
The center tool brings to model back to center.
The zoom in tool magnifies the model.
The zoom out tool shrinks the model.
Notice the mouse thumbwheel does the same thing.
Share, allows sharing of the view on social media.
The top button docks the tool bar.
Clicking on the tools button displays an assortment of tools for manipulating the model.
An important tool is the dissect tool
Clicking on this tool allows you to remove structures.
Clicking on the Undo Dissect tool brings the structures back into view
The other tools won't be used in our labs, but you can play with them if you wish.
Follow the directions and read the information as you progress through the lab.
Feel free to revisit and work through the labs as many times as you wish.
You can also use the models for study.
Load times can be minimized by closing the screens and the labs once you have completed
them.
Once you feel you are ready, take the lab assessment quiz.
There is a lab assessment quiz for each lab.
I hope you enjoy working with the labs as much as I did in developing them.
