In addition to local libraries where you may use and borrow resources, you can find information and images of human anatomy and physiology using these NLM/NIH Internet resources:

    • anatomy and physiology (search MeSH® subject headings for "Anatomy," "Physiology," and "Anthropometry")
    • body parts (search a MeSH heading with a subheading, such as Heart/anatomy and histology OR Heart/physiology)
    • Images from the History of Medicine in the NLM prints and photos collection
