Very interesting if you have a strong stomach.

I found this website that is extremely interesting, and you can learn a lot from. It is a British television show called Autopsy: Life and Death. The show is about diseases that kill people such as cancer, poisoning, and circulatory problems. They perform an autopsy in front of anatomy students and explain what each disease does to the body, and they show you in the organs exactly what it looks like. These are real autopsies, so if you don't have a strong stomach, I don't know if it is something you want to watch.

Thank you for sharing such an educational link!

I agree with other posters' recommendations of the BodyWorks exhibits... I saw one in my area recently, and it was amazing.

Look where it says "Autopsy Programme 1-Circulation" and then click on Part 1 to watch the first portion of the show.

This is really great. Im a pre-nursing student (and part-time CNA) and I just happen to be taking Anatomy and physiology right now, so this was perfect timing. I posted this link in the discussion board for my physiology class (my anatomy prof. doesnt have one up) and everyone was like wow this is great. So thanks! It really is interesting.
