Students in a Dutch classroom were treated to an anatomy lesson they won't forget in a hurry.
Their creative teacher, Debby Heerkens, stood on a desk at the front of her class to reveal layers of fitted outfits printed with the human anatomy.
The first outfit showed muscles, the secondinternal organs and the third a skeleton.
Ms Heerkens, who teaches biology and physical education at Groene Hart Rijnwoude school, in Hazerswoude Dorp, wanted to grab her pupils' attention and inspire them.
"At first they were a little bit in shock because they thought 'the teacher is taking off her clothes,' until, they saw what was underneath," she told CNN.
Ms Heerkens got the idea when she saw a woman wearing similar leggings. She had to convince the school's director but he was soon won over when he saw the educational value.
She said she wanted to help her students visualise complex anatomy and show organs to scale.
The video of Ms Heerkens stripping was uploaded last week on Facebook, and has since gone viral.
"Great school, great teacher and a super cute mentor," wrote one commenter. "Gosh.. how inspiring and expressive! Let it be an example to all biology teachers," wrote another.
