This is fun for a little while—Google has made their BodyBrowser available, a handy little tool that lets you explore the anatomy of the human body. It only works with the new Google Chrome web browser, unfortunately, and it doesn't do much, other than spin and click a rather rigidly fixed anatomy model, and about all you can do with it is click on a bit of something or other and see a label pop up.
What would be more useful is something that demonstrated some physiology, too. Stuff that just sits there is ultimately rather boring. A body with working parts that students could poke at and change around would be far more educational.
Google, get right on that.
