After the completion of the Skeletal System, Connective Tissues and Muscular System, the next phase was to construct the internal organs of the reproductive, digestive, and respiratory systems. The majority of the organs were labelled and segmented from the VHP Data using 3dSlicer. Figure 1.0: Segmenting the organs using 3DSlicer
After the completion of the Skeletal System and Connective Tissues, the next phase was to construct the muscular system, which enables the body to move, maintain posture, and circulate blood and consists of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles.
After completion of the skeletal system, building the cartilage, ligaments, and connective tissues within the body was the next logical phase as along with the bones, these are the fibrous connective tissues that also provide structural support and protection within the body.
June 2016, our team started on a journey to develop a 3D Human Anatomy Model. As the skeleton is the support structure of the human body – giving the body its shape and form, providing attachment points for muscles to allow movement of the joints and serving as a frame for protecting the organs – it was the natural starting point for creating our 3d human.
