Abstract

An entertainment and educational center based on human anatomy has a major unit corresponding to a major organ, or group of closely spaced and related organs, surrounded by related organs. The major unit, for example the heart, will be of adequate dimensions to allow movement by children and even adults through the several chambers and experience the architecture of the organ as well as its function. The major unit would be connected to associated organs, in this example lungs, by slides or bridges representing the arteries and other anatomical connections. The center may be provided with simulations of blood flow and beating and can be associated with nearby interactive teaching games.
