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.

- NeurohypophysisThe neural back lobe of the pituitary gland and its stalk, which store and release vasopressin and oxytocin made in the hypothalamus.
- OesophagusThe muscular tube that carries swallowed food and drink from the pharynx, through the chest and diaphragm, to the stomach.
- OropharynxPars oralis pharyngisThe middle part of the pharynx, behind the mouth, running from the soft palate down to the upper edge of the epiglottis.
- Palatine tonsilTonsilla palatinaA paired mass of lymphoid tissue in the side wall of the oropharynx, lodged between the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches.
- PancreasA long, soft gland lying across the back of the upper abdomen, making digestive juice and blood-sugar hormones.
- Pancreatic ductDuctus pancreaticusThe main duct of the pancreas, running the whole length of the gland to empty into the descending duodenum.
- Papillary musclesMusculi papillaresCone-shaped muscles projecting from the ventricular walls whose tendinous cords hold the leaflets of the tricuspid and mitral valves.
- Parotid ductDuctus parotideusThe duct of the parotid gland, crossing the cheek over the masseter to open inside the mouth opposite the upper second molar.
- Parotid glandGlandula parotideaThe largest salivary gland, lying in front of and below each ear and wrapped around the back of the lower jaw.
- Pineal glandGlandula pinealisA small, pine-cone-shaped endocrine gland on the roof of the third ventricle, part of the epithalamus, that secretes melatonin in darkness.
- PleuraThe thin serous membrane that covers each lung and lines the inside of the chest wall, enclosing a slit-like pleural cavity between.
- Posterior leaflet of left atrioventricular valveCuspis posterior valvae atrioventricularis sinistraeThe shorter but wider-based of the two mitral valve leaflets, hanging from the back of the ring between left atrium and ventricle.
- Posterior segment of eyeballSegmentum posterius bulbi oculiThe rear and larger portion of the eyeball, behind the lens, containing the vitreous body and lined by the retina, choroid and sclera.
- Renal pelvisPelvis renalisThe funnel-shaped upper end of the ureter, lying partly inside the renal sinus, where the major calyces unite to collect urine.
- RetinaThe thin, light-sensitive inner coat of the eyeball, lining the posterior segment and converting the focused image into signals carried by the optic nerve.
- Right atriumAtrium dextrumThe upper right chamber of the heart, receiving blood returning from the body and passing it through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle.
- Right coronary arteryArteria coronaria dextraThe coronary artery arising from the right aortic sinus and running in the right atrioventricular groove round to the back of the heart.
- Right inferior lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris inferior dexterThe lower terminal branch of the right intermediate bronchus, continuing down and back into the lower lobe of the right lung.
- Right inferolateral branch of right coronary artery(Ramus inferolateralis dexter arteriae coronariae dextrae)A branch of the right coronary artery that continues past the crux onto the diaphragmatic surface of the left ventricle.
- Right lobe of thymusLobus dexter thymiThe right of the two lobes of the thymus, a lymphoid organ in the upper chest behind the sternum, where T lymphocytes mature.
- Right main bronchusBronchus principalis dexterThe short, wide and nearly vertical airway that leaves the lower end of the trachea for the right lung.
- Right superior lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris superior dexterThe first offshoot of the right main bronchus, arising above the right pulmonary artery to supply the upper lobe of the right lung.
- Right ventricleVentriculus dexterThe lower right chamber of the heart, forming most of its front surface, which pumps blood through the pulmonary valve to the lungs.
- ScleraThe tough, opaque white outer coat covering the back five-sixths of the eyeball, continuous with the cornea in front and the optic nerve sheath behind.
