Introduction.

Welcome to m3dtutor interactive 3d cardiac anatomy training.

We trust the information on this site will be of great benefit to you in your studies. Please be advised that copyright applies to all graphical content on this website and no copies or screen captures are allowed.

Aim and purpose of this website.

The morphology and location of some anatomical structures of the human heart is near impossible to explain using conventional 2d imaging. The aim of our tutorial series is therefor to explore cardiac anatomy in a 3d environment.
Our visual content was not intended to replace text books or other course material and should be viewed in conjunction with literature as prescribed by your institution.
To make the series more relavant we will explore the structures in the context of the disciplinary setting where they are more likely to be encountered e.g. echocardiography.

Human Heart

Figure 1.0 The human heart is angled at roughly 20 to 40 degrees in the chest cavity, also referred to as the anatomical axis. Zoom and rotate the 3d model in this 3d viewer to explore the positioning of the heart.

Embryology

Embryonic Heart Development

week 5 embryo

In this tutorial we explore the structures of the embryonic heart.
Due to the amount of information and complexity of the structures the tutorial will grow over time and content will be added as it becomes available.
We will start with the endocardial tube formation and progress through the embryonic heart developmental stages days 20 to 28.
