Hello rjhtamu,
I have compiled a list of resources that I believe will be useful to
you. Since I don?t know where you live, I am unable to check if your
local public library stocks books on da Vinci. However, the library
may have at least some of the books I have listed for sale online.
Online Illustrations
====================
You can see numerous daVinci anatomical sketches here:
Geneva Foundation for Medical Education and Research
http://www.gfmer.ch/International_activities_En/Leonardo_anatomical_drawings.htm
Some other sketches can be seen on this personal site. (These are all downloadable
http://www.visi.com/~reuteler/leonardo.html
Books
====================
Of course not all libraries will have all books! If your local library
does not have a book, you can inquire of a librarian about
inter-library loans. This is a free service to patrons at most public
libraries.
One book, found at my local public library: The art of Leonardo da
Vinci by Leonardo, da Vinci, 1452-1519. New York : Excalibur books,
c1981. Call #: 759.5 L581m
Books for Purchase
Some of these books will be available in the public library as well.

Information
====================
Leonardo Da Vinci?s Anatomical Studies: an Unique Biomechanical
Approach , by Sarah Pestieau ?His work was, indeed, influenced by the
several philosophies and theories prevailing in the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries, however, da Vinci possessed a unique imagination
that separated him from the rest?
http://www.stanford.edu/~mgorman/essays/Sarah/sarah.html
Quotations from da Vinci: ?While man has within him a pool of blood
wherein the lungs as he breathes expand and contract, so the body of
the earth has its ocean, which also rises and falls every six hours
with the breathing of the world?

Leonardo on the heart, by Rekha R. Rapaka:

Studies of the Human Body and Principles of Anatomy : ?In the case of
the head, for instance, he is concerned not just with various views of
the skull but also with showing how the optic nerves penetrate the
skull on their way to the optic chiasma and the three ventricles?

Studies of the Human Body

da Vinci had even thought of personal protection devices ?Although
conventional protective masks started appearing in the 19th century,
the earliest recorded mask proposal was written by Leonardo da Vinci
in the 15th century. He envisioned a fine cloth dipped in water for
defense against a sulfide of arsenic and verdigris powder he was
proposing for a toxic weapon?
http://www.vnh.org/MedAspChemBioWar/chapters/chapter_2.htm
Brain Ventricles and Theories of the Mind
?Leonardo turned his attention to the exact location of the soul in
the brain. A series of drawings exist which outline this quest?
http://www.epub.org.br/cm/n06/historia/ventricles_i.htm
An analysis of DaVinci?s drawings

?Da Vinci's sketches were on loose leaf and were the result of 30
careful human dissections; many of these works are now found at the
Royal Library of Windsor? There is a link following this paragraph
that displays more anatomical sketches. Clicking on the ?embryo will
link to more sketches as well.

?Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) first became interested in anatomic art
when he was asked by a Veronese anatomist named Marc Antonia Della
Torre to do the illustrations for a text of anatomy. Della Torre was
to do the dissecting and Leonardo the drawings. But Della Torre died
unexpectedly.?
