Skeleton Typogram – A radically literal graphic abstraction of anatomy
By Aaron Kuehn.
First the Alien autopsy. I’m sure this could be used as a slide on the subject of anatomy, surgery, etc.
Then, of course, there is the classic frog dissection.
Best of all, both of these are available as knitting kits. From the talented Emily Stoneking (alien | frog). Via @kpwerker.

“A scrotal ultrasound scan of a patient with a painful inflammatory mass surprisingly revealed a face in the image, which looked like a man experiencing painful stimuli.”
Article abstract (with links to full text paper – if you have access) here.

Can’t find source. Seems to have first surfaced in 2005 though.
“Der Mensch als Industriepalast (Man as Industrial Palace): Fritz Kahn, (1888-1968)

From a collection called “Nerdy Dirty” by Nicole Martinez. There’s a few of them, and they’re all very nice. Check them out at this link. For now, the one below has a little anatomy…

Interesting fire breathing apparatus layout (dual tubes for ignition?). I’m also curious what that big gland is in his leg. Anyone read Japanese?
