From Human Anatomy Online:

Examine the human body using the most comprehensive electronic collection of cadaveric images available today. Our innovation is to focus on concise descriptions of steps in the dissection process and provide key illustrations. Steps of the dissection are illustrated with important structures individually identified and processes such as the reflection of muscles shown with a sequence of images. This approach not only provides students with a resource to guide them through the requisite steps of a particular laboratory, but also serves as a powerful tool for independent study and review.

There appear to be many authors involved.  It’s hosted by SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Features

• Divides each lab dissection into four sections
  • 1. Overview of the lab
  • 2. Osteology of the region
  • 3.  Step-by-step dissection instructions
  • 4.  Summary terms
• Relevant cadaveric images are displayed alongside descriptive text which improves learning
• Most images are accompanied by an orientation map
• All images are clickable for a larger version
• Links and references to these editions of commonly used atlases accompany many of the dissections:
  • Grant’s Atlas of Anatomy, 9th edition: by figure number
  • Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy, 1tst and 2nd edition: by plate number
  • Rohen and Yokochi’s Color Atlas of Anatomy, 3rd edition: by page number
• Contains over 4,500 quiz questions in best-answer format (they point to a structure and you name it).  You can even specify which body region you want to be quizzed on.  Very comprehensive!

Limitations

• The site is in need of a re-design focusing on creating more intuitive navigation and a wider layout to accomodate larger images.

Interactive tutorials and quizzes on human anatomy and physiology. Visually learn about the human body using their interactive Flash animations.
