about/

This interactive resource displays major cell structures and describes their functions in an annotated model of a real human cell. The cell model is accompanied by microscope images and videos, illustrations and written explanations describing each structure’s anatomy and function, as well as an additional 84 3D models that display each structure undergoing each stage of mitosis.

This resource may be particularly useful for:  

• Overviewing cell anatomy and physiology.
• Guiding more advanced students through the transition from textbooks/cell diagrams to the types of cell images found in journal publications.
• Demonstrating the relationship between cell structures and structure functions in an interactive format.
