I received notification that Healthline, a popular health and medical website, has just released a 3D version of the female chest. It’s quite cool, I checked it out. It can show you the various areas of the female breast and the physiology and anatomy of this area on women. If you’re a girl, it’s pretty neat to look at it and figure out what’s what on your body.
It can also help you to figure out how to best perform breast self examinations on yourself when you are doing them – preferably at least twice a year and screening yourself for any signs of breast cancer. Your doctor should do a manual screening of your breasts every time you see them and you should be getting a general health checkup at least once a year.
You can actually highlight certain areas of the picture and it will show you various things about the anatomy of that area. You can also go into various degree views of the breast and chest area by moving a little cursor at the bottom of the picture.
It even allows you to go several layers deep into the female chest by viewing the muscle layers, the bones and cartilage, the nerves and vessels and the organs that lie beneath the fatty deposits that make women’s breasts keep their shape and firmness.
Each of these layers allows you to put your cursor over any area you’re curious about and to see what you are sitting on. It’s cool because you can literally see what lies beneath your chest cavity at the click of a button.
The page also links you to a self examination “Survivor’s Tale” that tells you all about how self examination is important from the perspective of someone who survived breast cancer. This is a very neat tool, and something that every woman should check out I think.
You can find it here at Female Chest in 3D. This is a really educational tool. It may even be helpful for those going to school and taking anatomy classes as a sort of study tool. I can tell you this – they didn’t have this kind of stuff when I was in high school or going to college! So take advantage of it!
