Virtual Pig Dissection - Earl W Fleck - Whitman College USA. A good site with photographs using linked information from the pictures. Naviagation is easy - has it's own BACK button and simple menus.
Froguts.com Virtual frog dissection. This is produced by a bio elearning company and is less informative than the pig site. You 'perform' the dissection on the frog by clicking on the instruments, pins and body parts. Photos are good but it's not very informative. However, when you've finished, if you select the option to view other dissections, you can do similar 'interactive' events on squid, owl pellets, and a wide range of others - coming soon! - Or go straight to the site: Froguts index
