Jamie Roebuck Anatomy 360*
The most detailed illustrated atlas of the structure of the human body explains everything: three-dimensional images and thin sections allow you to literally see a person from the inside with skin, without skin, without a layer of muscles, with details of the nervous, circulatory and digestive systems, and brief comments and links to the latest medical discoveries provide important explanations . Very realistic and impressive. So much so that the publisher gave 16+: a brain with orbits without eyelids and meter-long nerve endings, looking at the reader as if alive, looks creepy, but for educational purposes the publication is indispensable.
