I never liked anatomy class. I never really knew why some people liked to spend hours elbow deep in smelly crinkly old dead people.

In fact, my best memory of anatomy is when the anatomy demonstrator, during a particularly vigorous limb sawing exercise, ended up with a small piece of the poor deceased chaps muscle on her lower lip. We were all far to terrified of our demonstrator to let her know about the issue and all watched in horror / anticipation / fascination as repeated lip licks failed to come into contact with the foreign body, until finally she discovered what was causing that tickly feeling and swallowed the thing, still completely oblivious.

So yes. I learned that sawing too hard and simultaneously licking your lips might result in the unfortunate digestion of dead man's muscle. To my surprise, this knowledge has yet to be of use in my career.

Anyway, if you want to avoid my predicament, and actually learn some anatomical features, these beautiful hand made thingy-ma-jigs might help. Probably not. But maybe. And they're very pretty to look at.
