Michelangelo the Anatomist: Brains & Kidneys on the Ceiling!

Everyone knows Michelangelo was a Renaissance man - but he was also an anatomist who conducted his own dissections! Join me and Dr. Kevin Petti from Anatomia Italiana as we explore the amazing anatomical story of Michelangelo and ask the big question: are there really brains and kidneys on the ceiling?
