Bringing Anatomy to Life with the Merge Cube
The Merge Cube is a powerful tool for enhancing anatomy education by providing a more engaging and interactive way for students to learn about the structure and function of the human body.
Anatomy is an essential subject in the field of health and medicine, providing us with a deep understanding of the structure and function of the human body. From the systems and organs that keep us alive to the bones and muscles that allow us to move, there is much to learn and explore in this field. However, traditional teaching methods, such as lectures and reading assignments, can sometimes be dry and unengaging, making it difficult for students to retain and understand complex concepts.
Visualize the human anatomy
The Merge Cube can be used to visualize the human anatomy in 3D, allowing students to explore the different systems, organs, and structures of the body. This can help students to better understand the function and interrelationships of these structures and how they work together to maintain health.

Explore virtual dissection
The Merge Cube can be used to provide students with a virtual dissection experience, allowing them to explore the inside of the body without having to use real specimens. This can be a safer and more convenient way for students to learn about anatomy and physiology.
Learn about the functions of different systems and organs
The Merge Cube can be used to explore the functions of different systems and organs, such as the circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems. This can help students to understand the role of each system and organ in maintaining health.
G4 have been focusing on the ATL skill of ‘Researching’ to identify, label & explain the different body systems.
