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.

- Frontal branches of callosomarginal arteryRami frontales arteriae callosomarginalisBranches of the callosomarginal artery that climb from the cingulate sulcus to supply the medial surface of the frontal lobe.
- Greater palatine arteryArteria palatina majorThe continuation of the descending palatine artery that runs forward under the hard palate to the incisive canal.
- Inferior alveolar arteryArteria alveolaris inferiorA branch of the maxillary artery that enters the mandible and runs in its canal to supply the lower teeth, jaw and chin.
- Inferior labial arteryArteria labialis inferiorAn offshoot of the facial artery running along the lower lip between its muscle and lining, supplying the lip.
- Infra-orbital arteryArteria infraorbitalisA branch of the maxillary artery that runs in the floor of the orbit and emerges on the face below the eye.
- Insular branches of middle cerebral artery (M2)Arteriae insulares (M2)The branches of the middle cerebral artery that run over the insula, deep in the lateral sulcus, forming its second (M2) segment.
- Internal carotid arteryCarotis internaThe main artery to the brain and eye, rising from the common carotid and reaching the skull by the carotid canal.
- Lacrimal arteryArteria lacrimalisAn offshoot of the ophthalmic artery that runs along the lateral wall of the orbit to feed the lacrimal gland and nearby tissues.
- Lateral frontobasal arteryArteria frontobasalis lateralisAn early cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery that runs forwards to the outer part of the orbital surface of the frontal lobe.
- Lateral occipital arteryArteria occipitalis lateralisOne of the two end branches of the posterior cerebral artery, running under the temporal and occipital lobes on the base of the brain.
- Lateral pontine branches of basilar arteryRami laterales pontis arteriae basilarisBranches of the basilar artery that wind around the side of the pons to supply its lateral part and the middle cerebellar peduncle.
- Long posterior ciliary arteriesArteriae ciliares posteriores longaeTwo small branches of the ophthalmic artery that run forwards inside the eyeball wall to supply the iris and ciliary body.
- Maxillary arteryArteria maxillarisThe larger terminal branch of the external carotid artery, running deep to the mandible to supply the jaws, teeth, nose and palate.
- Medial occipital arteryArteria occipitalis medialisOne of the two end branches of the posterior cerebral artery, supplying the inner face of the occipital lobe and its visual cortex.
- Medial pontine branches of basilar arteryRami mediales pontis arteriae basilarisSmall paramedian branches from the back of the basilar artery that pierce the pons near the midline to supply its inner part.
- Mental branch of inferior alveolar arteryRamus mentalis arteriae alveolaris inferiorisThe terminal branch of the inferior alveolar artery, leaving the mandible through the mental foramen to supply the chin and lower lip.
- Middle cerebral artery (M1-segment)Arteria cerebri media (Pars M1)The first, sphenoidal stretch of the middle cerebral artery, running laterally from the carotid split to the entrance of the lateral sulcus.
- Middle cerebral artery (M3-segment)Arteria cerebri media (Pars M3)The opercular segment of the middle cerebral artery, its branches looping around the opercula from the insula to the lateral surface.
- Middle meningeal arteryArteria meningea mediaA maxillary artery branch that passes through the foramen spinosum into the skull, supplying the dura and the bones of the vault.
- Mylohyoid branch of inferior alveolar arteryRamus mylohyoideus arteriae alveolaris inferiorisA small branch of the inferior alveolar artery that runs in the mylohyoid groove of the mandible to the mylohyoid muscle.
- Occipital arteryArteria occipitalisAn external carotid branch that passes back beneath the mastoid process to the rear of the scalp and the upper neck muscles.
- Ophthalmic arteryArteria ophthalmicaAn internal carotid branch, given off just beyond the cavernous sinus, that enters the orbit with the optic nerve to supply the eye.
- Orbitofrontal branches of anterior cerebral arteryRami orbitofrontales arteriae cerebri anteriorisBranches of the anterior cerebral artery that run forward under the frontal lobe to supply its medial orbital surface and the olfactory bulb and tract.
- Parietal branches of middle cerebral arteryRami parietales arteriae cerebri mediaeCortical branches of the middle cerebral artery that emerge from the lateral sulcus to supply the lateral surface of the parietal lobe.
