The human body one structure at a time. Every page has a 3D model you can turn, with its parts numbered on it, where it sits, what it does and what supplies it.

- TeethDentesThe teeth are the hard structures set in the upper and lower jaws that cut, tear and grind food, arranged in two curved arches.
- Temporal boneOs temporaleA paired bone at the side and base of the skull that houses the ear and forms the upper half of the jaw joint.
- Temporal branches of middle cerebral arteryRami temporales arteriae mediae cerebriThe group of cortical branches that the middle cerebral artery sends down from the lateral sulcus over the lateral surface of the temporal lobe.
- Temporal planePlanum temporaleThe flat triangular area on the hidden upper surface of the superior temporal gyrus, behind the transverse temporal gyri.
- Temporal polePolus temporalisThe rounded front tip of the temporal lobe, resting in the middle cranial fossa behind the greater wing of the sphenoid bone.
- Temporalis muscleMusculus temporalisTemporalis is the broad, fan-shaped chewing muscle that fills the temple on each side of the skull and closes the jaw.
- Temporo-occipital branchRamus temporooccipitalis arteriae cerebri mediaeThe most posterior temporal branch of the middle cerebral artery, running back along the temporal lobe towards the lateral occipital region.
- Temporoparietalis muscleMusculus temporoparietalisTemporoparietalis is a thin, variable sheet of scalp muscle lying over the side of the head above and in front of the ear.
- Tentorium cerebelliA tent-shaped fold of dura mater stretched between the occipital lobes above and the cerebellum below, at the back of the skull.
- ThalamusA large paired mass of grey matter in the diencephalon, forming the walls of the third ventricle and relaying signals to the cerebral cortex.
- Third ventricleVentriculus tertiusA narrow midline cavity of the diencephalon, lying between the two thalami and filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
- Tonsil of cerebellumTonsilla cerebelliA rounded lobule on the underside of each cerebellar hemisphere, lying beside the uvula just above the foramen magnum and the medulla.
- Transverse facial arteryArteria transversa facieiA branch of the superficial temporal artery that crosses the side of the face just below the zygomatic arch, over the masseter.
- Transverse occipital sulcusSulcus occipitalis transversusA short groove crossing the upper part of the lateral occipital lobe, continuing back from the end of the intraparietal sulcus.
- Transverse sinusSinus transversusA large paired dural venous sinus that curves round the back of the skull from the confluence of sinuses towards the jugular foramen.
- Transverse temporal gyriGyri temporales transversiShort gyri on the upper surface of the temporal lobe, hidden inside the lateral sulcus, that form the primary auditory cortex.
- Triangular part of inferior frontal gyrusPars triangularis gyri frontalis inferiorisThe wedge-shaped middle portion of the inferior frontal gyrus, lying between the two front branches of the lateral sulcus, forming Brodmann area 45.
- Trigeminal nerve (V)Nervus trigeminus (V)The fifth cranial nerve, leaving the side of the pons to give feeling to the face and to work the chewing muscles.
- Trochlea of superior oblique muscleTrochlea musculi obliqui superiorisA small cartilage pulley in the upper inner corner of the orbit, through which the tendon of superior oblique turns towards the eye.
- Trochlear nerve (IV)Nervus trochlearis (IV)The fourth cranial nerve, a slender motor nerve leaving the back of the midbrain to supply the eye's superior oblique muscle.
- Tuber of vermisTuber vermisA small lobule at the back of the inferior vermis, below the folium, continuous on each side with the inferior semilunar lobules.
- Tympanic membraneMembrana tympanicaThe eardrum: a thin, slightly conical membrane at the inner end of the ear canal, separating the outer ear canal from the middle ear cavity.
- Uvula of vermisUvula vermisA tongue-shaped part of the inferior vermis of the cerebellum, lying between the pyramis and the nodule and flanked by the two tonsils.
- Vagus nerve (X)Nervus vagus (X)The tenth cranial nerve, which wanders from the medulla through the neck and chest into the abdomen to serve the viscera.
