Features Introduced in Version 3.5 Following 3.0
Upgraded Nervous System – Our upgraded Nervous System model has increased detail to the Brain including a Cerebrum better revealing typical features such as landmark sulci and gyri; it also now includes internal brain anatomy. Newly improved grouping better enables users to easily select and show any feature of the brain; now simply add transparency to the Cerebrum and Cerebellum to reveal anatomical features deep within the Brain.

- Cerebral Aqueduct
- Fourth Ventricle
Insula and Brain Stem models are available separately.
Upgraded Circulatory System – Our upgraded Circulatory System model now includes much more detailed and accurate vessels to and from every organ. Branches of arteries and veins providing circulation to viscera as well as reproductive organs now enables illustration of blood flow from the heart to every organ and extremity of the body.
- Upgraded Features of the Circulatory System 3.5
- Vasculature of Liver
- Vasculature of Stomach

- Vasculature of Spleen
- Vasculature of Pancreas
- Vasculature of Reproductive Organs
New Connective Tissue Model – Our new Connective Tissue model now is sold as part of the Male and Female Anatomy Collections 3.5. Each joint of the appendicular skeleton is included - from the Distal Interphalangeal Joints of the hands and feet, to the Ligaments and Acetabular Surfaces of the shoulders and hips. Each individual ligament and bursa is modeled independently and grouped so that users can easily focus illustrations or animations on relevant joint anatomy.
- Joints included in the Connective Tissue Model 3.5 include:
