The Body Guide is a unique visual road map of the human body. Users can learn about the different systems of the body through interactive anatomy, illustrations, and text. In this visually rich A.D.A.M. offering, a user can toggle between a review of both the male and female anatomy. A mouse-over feature provides specific nomenclature of over 230 hot spots, identifying various structures within the 12 major systems of the human body. An outline is presented with each system that links to related anatomical and physiological articles, featuring over 90 full-color illustrations integrated with textual information.
