Track Description
The "Whole Frog" project is intended to introduce the concepts of modern, computer based
3D visualization, and at the same time to demonstrate the power of whole body, 3D imaging of
anatomy as a curriculum tool. The goal of the Whole Frog Project is to provide students the ability to explore the anatomy of a frog by using data from high resolution MRI
imaging and from mechanical sectioning, together with 3D surface and volume rendering software
to visualize the anatomical structures of the intact animal.
Many organisms survive only under site specific conditions. Organisms are composed of systems
which contribute to the overall operations of an organism. This unit will allow student to view the operations of the organism within a computer based setting.
