These would be great to have these that work in tandem with figures and skeletons

You might be better served by something like https://www.zygote.com/
I've really been interested in trying to find resources to adapt to Daz for anatomy and so on. I mean, I couldn't model a nervous system by hand.
The problem is, of course, that anything with sufficient permission to do this is, like, thousands and thousands of dollars. Which such a product is unlikely to ever make.
Bah
just have to wait until something scanned by an educational institution gets released as opensource
people are donating their bodies after death for resin plastination all the time and it's becoming more mainstream for research purposes so a whole circulatory system is bound to be 3D scanned eventually for education

Updated skeletons and internal anatomy like they have for V4/M4 but for the G8 figures would be nice too.
I think involving Zygote will run you 10s of 1000s of dollars, even as just a 3D hobbyist which they have no interest in selling to anyway. I've never saw an ad yet that requested you call them for a demo lead to a freebie yet.
I think your best bet is to search for 3D scans of plastinated models as Wendy pointed out. I know when I lived in CH a friend & I discussed plastinated human model exhibitions being held in Germany at the time and using that as inspiration, our own Fred & Barney style get rich schemes that involved plastination but wasn't so gross (and never worked out as we are talking Fred & Barney here).
What I wanted to do and to still try is plastinate various types tree leaves and flowers and then like fibre optic cables are used to stream different color lights through I'd instead stream different color lights through the plastinated leaves and flowers. It's more appropropriate for 50s style neon decor or bar decor not something for classy decor though. Not sure if that would work or not though. It should since the viens in the leaves and flowers have to be continuous for them to have been fed. I'm not sure if when they plastinate humans if they disect them and plastinate the disected parts and then put them back together are have some fancy technological way to plastinate according to tissue density. I think they probably must disect, plastinate, and reassemble but I should read on that.
For study, there's also https://www.zygotebody.com/ which starts at USD 4.00/month. If your intention is to learn to sketch parts of anatomy, that seems like a good choice. If your intention is to eviscerate charaters for scenes, then not so much, unless you want references for modeling.
