I Have Your Heart: Wonderful papercraft animation.
Admittedly, the connection to “anatomy” is tenuous at best, but wow – this is beautiful animation (and a very catchy song)
An animation by Crabapple, Boekbinder, & Batt. Visit http://www.ihaveyourheart.com for more details & download the song here: http://bit.ly/ROwMQ7. Via @boingboing
Also worth checking out in full screen and in HD.

This would be SO awesome: An amusement park ride masquerading as an anatomy lesson
An educational amusement apparatus forms a large building structure having an external appearance simulating a man and a woman resting partially under a blanket, wherein riders are taken through a succession of cavities that simulate internal organs of the man and woman. Entrance to a head chamber simulating an oral cavity is achieved by a stairway supported by a simulated arm of the man, the oral cavity having displays of teeth in normal and abnormal conditions, and serving as a staging area for a train to carry the riders. The train passes into a simulated cranial cavity of the woman, past a sectional display of simulated ear organs, and into a body portion of the building that is representative of the abdomen of both the man and the woman, first through a simulated esophagus, stomach, and intestine of an alimentary canal, through simulated urinary and reproductive tracts, then through a simulated liver and a simulated cardiovascular canal, and finally through a simulated lung and windpipe to an exit staging area of the building.

Wound Man: An illustration which first appeared in European surgical texts in the Middle Ages.
It laid out schematically the various wounds a person might suffer in battle or in accidents, often with surrounding or accompanying text stating treatments for the various injuries. It first appeared in print in Johannes de Ketham’s Fasciculus Medicinae (Venice, 1492) and was used often in surgical texts throughout the sixteenth century and even into the seventeenth century.

Fantasy Creature X-Rays (Or Are They?)
“Korean artist Wonman Kim, aka Curt Man, is a graphic designer and illustrator who recently held his first solo exhibition, titled Trinity, for his intriguing digital works. The colorful mix of puzzling images depict what appear to be x-ray scans of different animals. Although, these are no ordinary x-rays.”
