Anatomical curiosity illustrations

BibliOdyssey has a wonderful post about anatomical curiosities in antique texts, including a fine selection of links to various image and info sources. (This illustration from a Wilhlem ten Rhyne text.) From the post:

Wilhelm ten Rhyne was a physician for the Dutch East India company and spent a couple of years in Japan in the 17th century. During his stay he exchanged medical information with Japanese and Chinese health workers. In 1683 he published Dissertatio de Arthritide: Mantissa Schematica: de Acupunctura. This was the original first-hand published account of eastern medicine and introduced the western world to the concept of acupuncture.
