Understanding the Body

Understanding the Body

This exhibition looks at some of the equipment and visual aids that have been used in medicine to study and measure different aspects of the human body. The objects date from the early years of Dundee's medical school in the 1890s up to more recent times.

Some of the material was used in general examination of the body, others to measure specific factors that help to diagnose certain diseases or other health problems. There are also models and charts used to teach students the 'pre-clinical' subjects of Anatomy and Physiology.
