...for cartilage being fmoother and fofter than bone, it renders the motions more eafy than they would have been...

It alfo difcuffes the fcapula and the fternum.

Weird old writing.:P But seriously, what a great recourse. Thanks for the link!

this (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/historicalanatomies/Images/1200_pixels/bidloo_t71.jpg) and this (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/historicalanatomies/Images/1200_pixels/bidloo_t82.jpg) is really cool.. Must be nice to just have a human body to cut in and study from (I mean a dead body you know, not your own :P)..
Ah well it might be smelly though, cutting up a dead body. Maybe I'm a little weird :P

[Diego]

thanks for sharing man.

[Mr Man]

I never really noticed this, but that crosshatching is insanley accurate. These historical artists must have breathed drawing!

I think it's a lithograph? It's the same method they use to make the faces on bills.

Even though it isn't much use for drawing, design wise for a medical book, this book (http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/hardin/rbr/imaging/remmelin/sub_pl2_body.htm) is pretty cool. You fold back the tabs to see what's underneath, then underneath that... and so on. Would be a cool idea for an anatomy book on muscles too.:skull:
