Human Anatomy



Does Griffin want to ba a doctor? He says he does not. He just wants to take these 3D models apart, then asks me to put them back together again.

These models have taught him the different parts of the human body. He knows which part is the skull, brain, heart, lungs, ribcage, liver, pancreas, stomach, large intestine, small intestine and spinal column. He can even point out in his own body where these are approximately located.

He knows some parts of the eye like the lens, iris, pupil, cornea, and lacrimal gland(tear gland). He doesn't know much yet about 3D model of the skull because I haven't taught him about the parts of the brain yet.

He even knows about the parts of the skeleton like the skull, mandible, ribcage, coccyx, carpal, metacarpal, phalanges, patella, tarsal, metatarsal, and spinal column. He learned these by watching an animation from the Science With Me website.
