A few years ago I taught myself anatomy (just because I'm curious) and this certainly would have helped.
The central nervous system was my favorite.

and it made identifying those cranial nerves one hell of a lot easier, they were like 16 gauge wire.
This skeleton is worth printing out just for the art. Anatomy classes assume you already know the names of the bones; what you have to learn is the name of every lump, bump, dip and notch on every bone.

He was a really good artist and drew things as he explained them. It was a very effective way to learn.
The coolest part was when he explained the cross section of the brain and how it is shaped like a miniature version of the body in the fetal position. It totally clicked.
