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.

- Central retinal arteryArteria centralis retinaeA small branch of the ophthalmic artery that travels inside the optic nerve to the eye and supplies the inner layers of the retina.
- Central sulcusSulcus centralisThe deep groove crossing the side of each cerebral hemisphere, dividing the frontal from the parietal lobe and motor from sensory cortex.
- Chorda tympaniA facial nerve branch crossing the middle ear to join the lingual nerve, carrying front-tongue taste and secretory fibres for two salivary glands.
- Choroid plexusPlexus chorioideusFringed vascular tufts lining parts of the brain's ventricles, which secrete most of the cerebrospinal fluid and form the blood-CSF barrier.
- Cingulate gyrus and sulcus (Middle anterior part)The front half of the middle cingulate gyrus and sulcus, arching over the trunk of the corpus callosum on each medial hemisphere.
- Cingulate gyrus and sulcus (Middle posterior part)The rear half of the middle stretch of the cingulate gyrus and sulcus, lying over the back of the callosal trunk on the medial hemisphere.
- Cingulate gyrus and sulcus (Posterior dorsal part)The upper rear stretch of the cingulate gyrus and its bordering sulcus, on the medial face of the hemisphere above the corpus callosum.
- Circular sulcus of insulaSulcus circularis insulaeThe groove that rings the insula deep inside the lateral sulcus, marking where the insular cortex meets the overlying opercula.
- Cochlear nerveNervus cochlearisThe hearing part of the vestibulocochlear nerve, carrying sound signals from the inner ear's cochlea to the cochlear nuclei of the brainstem.
- Collateral sulcusSulcus collateralisA long groove on the underside of the temporal and occipital lobes, running from near the occipital pole towards the temporal pole.
- CorneaThe clear, dome-shaped front of the eyeball, set into the sclera at the limbus and lying in front of the anterior chamber, iris and pupil.
- Corpus callosumThe broad arched sheet of white matter in the midline that joins the two cerebral hemispheres.
- Corrugator superciliiMusculus corrugator superciliiThe corrugator supercilii is a small, narrow muscle at the inner end of each eyebrow that pulls the brow down and inwards in a frown.
- CulmenThe highest lobule of the vermis in the anterior lobe of the cerebellum, lying just in front of the primary fissure.
- CuneusA wedge-shaped area on the medial surface of the occipital lobe, between the parieto-occipital and calcarine sulci.
- DecliveA lobule of the cerebellar vermis on the upper surface, lying just behind the primary fissure, below the summit of the culmen.
- Deep part of masseterPars profunda masseterisThe deep part of the masseter is the smaller inner layer of this chewing muscle, from zygomatic arch to upper mandibular ramus.
- Depressor anguli orisThe depressor anguli oris is a triangular muscle beside the chin that pulls the corner of the mouth down in a frown.
- Depressor labii inferiorisThe depressor labii inferioris is a small, four-sided facial muscle below the lower lip that pulls the lip down and turns it outwards.
- Depressor septi nasiThe depressor septi nasi is a small muscle under the upper lip that pulls the nasal septum and nostril margins down, narrowing the nostrils.
- Descending palatine arteryArteria palatina descendensA branch of the maxillary artery that drops through the palatine canal to supply the hard and soft palate.
- Distal lateral striate branchesThe more lateral of the small striate arteries that rise from the middle cerebral artery into the deep grey matter of the hemisphere.
- Ethmoid boneOs ethmoideumA light, air-filled, unpaired bone between the orbits that forms the roof and upper walls of the nasal cavity beneath the brain.
- External carotid arteryCarotis externaOne of the two terminal branches of the common carotid artery, supplying the neck, face, scalp and much of the skull.
