Virtual Embryology

Virtual imaging for teaching cardiac embryology.

Knowledge of the embryology of the normal heart is essential for understanding the development of congenital cardiopathies. However, learning embryology is not an easy matter because it requires understanding the intricacy and evolution of many complex structures and functions. Classically, this evolution is usually described in textbooks by means of drawings and sketches. With these techniques...

Construction of Multiuser Virtual Environments for the Virtual Teaching of Embryology

This poster describes the construction process of multiuser Virtual Environments VE integrated to multimedia for the virtual teaching of embryology. The system is supported by the MPEG-4 standard and will be integrated, as experimentation environments, to a virtual course of embryology, which is being built and will be made available as part of the Embryology course for medical students.

The two final chapters are a well prepared introduction to amplifiers and the necessary criteria for faithful reproduction of electrical data discussed ...
