Great illustration for children, even though it may not be anatomically correct.

Seeing piece like this makes me think a wonderful art project would be to create a whole new design driven anatomy book - one that may even be as comprehensive as Gray's Anatomy (the book not the TV series).

Yes that's a great illustration. How did you find it? I tried to do it and it's actually not as easy as it seems!!

btw, did you ever see the actually Gray's Anatomy book? I always thought it must be so old and not used anymore or something.

Great pic, and pretty close to proportion of blood flow to each organ system in terms of which organs you hit first.

Re: Grey's Anatomy... believe it or not, its still around (40th edition) and still a requirement for most med schools.
