When it comes to understanding the human body, seeing is believing. Now, a new website allows teachers and students anywhere to look through a virtual microscope.
A medical student in Michigan. A nursing student in Ghana. An anatomy professor in Brazil. A researcher in Australia. All need to learn or teach about the human body at the most basic level.
Now, people everywhere can see the human body in fine detail, thanks to “virtual microscopy,” which has opened the body’s secrets to a much wider audience of students and teachers.
1. Your teeth under an electronic microscope
Our teeth have such an important role to play in our lives. They help us chew and digest food, they help us to talk and speak clearly and they also give our face its shape. A smile also has other day-to-day benefits. It can give us greater confidence, as well as influence our social lives, careers and relationships and this is the image of it under an electronic microscope.
2. Tongue
The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech. The four common tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. This is exactly how your tongue looks like under an electronic microscope.
3. Human skin
Skin is actually your body’s largest organ by size. Your skin helps keep your body temperature even.
4. Human blood
Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to all the parts of the body so they can keep working. Blood carries carbon dioxide and other waste materials to the lungs, kidneys, and digestive system to be removed from the body. Blood also fights infections, and carries hormones around the body.
5. Eyes
Your eyes are an important part of your health. Most people rely on their eyes to see and make sense of the world around them. But some eye diseases can lead to vision loss, so it is important to identify and treat eye diseases as early as possible.
