Free 3000 Professionally Illustrated Medical Graphics
Finding detailed medical illustrations is not an easy task, especially for free, Creating the illustration itself requires a medical knowledge, Many artists has very good knowledge of the human body, anatomy, but few poses the knowledge of physiology, cellular biology, pathology and medical specialities. Beyond that they will need medical guidance to get the required results that matches the demand.
Medical illustrations are in demand, not just for medical students, doctors who prepare presentation, to communicate with patients, and school students as well.
