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.

- Anterior spinal arteryArteria spinalis anteriorA single midline artery that runs down the front of the spinal cord, formed from two small branches of the vertebral arteries.
- Anterior temporal branchRamus temporalis anteriorA cortical artery to the front part of the temporal lobe, running down across its lateral surface from the lateral sulcus.
- Aqueduct of midbrainAquaeductus mesencephaliThe narrow channel through the midbrain that carries cerebrospinal fluid from the third ventricle down to the fourth ventricle.
- Artery of central sulcusArteria sulci centralisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that climbs along the central sulcus on the lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere.
- Artery of precentral sulcusArteria sulci precentralisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that runs up the precentral sulcus on the lateral surface of the frontal lobe.
- Artery of pterygoid canalArteria canalis pterygoideiA slender branch of the maxillary artery that runs backwards through the pterygoid canal at the base of the sphenoid bone.
- Articular capsule of temporomandibular jointCapsula articularis articuli temporomandibularisThe thin, loose fibrous envelope of the jaw joint, joining the temporal bone above to the neck of the mandible below.
- Articular disc of temporomandibular jointDiscus articulationis temporomandibularisA thin oval plate of fibrous tissue inside the jaw joint, lying between the mandibular condyle and the temporal bone.
- Ascending pharyngeal arteryArteria pharyngea ascendensThe slenderest external carotid branch, climbing deep in the neck beside the pharynx to the skull base.
- Auditory ossiclesOssicula auditusThe auditory ossicles are the three tiny linked bones of the middle ear that carry sound from the eardrum to the inner ear.
- Auditory tubeTuba auditivaThe narrow bony and cartilaginous canal joining the middle ear to the nasopharynx, keeping air pressure equal on both sides of the eardrum.
- Base of peduncleBasis pedunculiThe front part of each cerebral peduncle of the midbrain, a thick band of descending fibres from the cerebral cortex.
- Basilar arteryArteria basilarisThe single midline artery formed by the two vertebral arteries, running up the front of the pons to supply the brainstem and back of the brain.
- Biventral lobuleLobulus biventerA lobule on the underside of each cerebellar hemisphere, lying lateral to the tonsil and divided into two bellies.
- Branch to angular gyrusArteria gyri angularisA cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that leaves the back of the lateral sulcus to supply the angular gyrus of the parietal lobe.
- Buccal arteryArteria buccalisA small branch of the maxillary artery that runs forwards on the buccinator to supply the cheek.
- Buccal nerveNervus buccalisA sensory branch of the mandibular nerve that crosses the infratemporal fossa to supply the skin and lining of the cheek.
- BucinatorThe buccinator is the thin, flat cheek muscle filling the gap between the jaws and forming the side wall of the mouth.
- Bucinator nodeNodus bucinatoriusA small, inconstant facial lymph node lying on the buccinator muscle in the cheek, level with the corner of the mouth.
- Calcarine sulcusSulcus calcarinusA deep groove on the medial surface of the occipital lobe, running forward from the occipital pole and lined by the primary visual cortex.
- Callosomarginal arteryArteria callosomarginalisA large branch of the anterior cerebral artery that runs in the cingulate sulcus on the medial surface of the hemisphere.
- Caudate nucleusNucleus caudatusA C-shaped mass of grey matter curving along the lateral ventricle, forming with the putamen the dorsal striatum of the basal ganglia.
- Central canalCanalis centralisThe narrow fluid-filled channel running down the centre of the spinal cord, continuous above with the brain's fourth ventricle.
- Central lobuleLobulus centralis vermisA small lobule of the cerebellar vermis on the front upper surface, lying above the lingula with a wing extending into each hemisphere.
