| Abstract |
|
Emys orbicularis We begin our series of case studies by looking at a visual model of developmental anatomy: a series of 3D reconstructions of the turtle heart. There are significant benefits to using a computer‐assisted technique in studying development and the development of the turtle heart is particularly suited to illustrate these benefits; the embryonic turtle heart is very small, necessitating a high level of magnification, and is spatially complex. While schematic drawings, based on histological sections, can be misleading, 3D computer reconstructions closely resemble reality and allow us to get a better understanding of the spatial properties of the structure. Furthermore, by providing the models online with our TDR‐viewer applet, the reader is able to interactively explore the reconstructions as well as the corresponding histological sections, which optimizes the communication of information by these models.
