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.

- External jugular veinVena iugularis externaA large superficial vein that crosses the side of the neck from the angle of the jaw to the subclavian vein.
- Facial arteryArteria facialisA winding external carotid branch that hooks over the mandible and runs across the face to the inner corner of the eye.
- Facial nerve (VII)Nervus facialis (VII)The seventh cranial nerve, which runs through the temporal bone to move the muscles of the face and carries taste, tear and saliva fibres.
- Facial veinVena facialisThe main vein of the face, running from beside the nose down across the cheek and jaw into the neck.
- Falx cerebriA sickle-shaped sheet of dura mater that hangs down in the longitudinal fissure and separates the two cerebral hemispheres.
- FlocculusA small tuft-like lobule on the underside of each cerebellar hemisphere, beside the middle cerebellar peduncle, concerned with eye movement and balance.
- Folium of vermisFolium vermisA small, narrow lobule of the cerebellar vermis at the back of its upper surface, between the declive and the tuber.
- FornixAn arched, C-shaped bundle of white fibres under the corpus callosum that carries the main output of the hippocampus to the forebrain.
- Fourth ventricleVentriculus quartusThe diamond-shaped cavity of the hindbrain, lying between the pons and medulla in front and the cerebellum behind.
- Frontal boneOs frontaleThe single bone of the forehead, which also roofs both eye sockets and forms the front of the cranial vault.
- Frontal branch of superficial temporal arteryRamus frontalis arteriae temporalis superficialisThe forward terminal branch of the superficial temporal artery, winding up across the temple to the skin and muscles of the forehead.
- 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.
- Frontalis muscleMusculus frontalisThe frontalis is the thin, broad muscle sheet over the forehead that raises the eyebrows and wrinkles the forehead skin horizontally.
- Genioglossus muscleMusculus genioglossusThe genioglossus is the fan-shaped muscle rising from the inner chin that forms most of the tongue and pushes it out.
- Globus pallidusThe pale inner part of the lentiform nucleus, deep in each cerebral hemisphere, and the main output station of the basal nuclei.
- Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)Nervus glossopharyngeus (IX)The ninth cranial nerve, a mixed nerve from the medulla serving the back of the tongue, the pharynx, the parotid gland and the carotid sinus.
- Gracile lobuleLobulus gracilisA slender lobule on the inferior surface of each cerebellar hemisphere, lying between the inferior semilunar lobule and the biventral lobule.
- Greater palatine arteryArteria palatina majorThe continuation of the descending palatine artery that runs forward under the hard palate to the incisive canal.
- HabenulaA small paired nucleus of the epithalamus, beside the pineal stalk at the back of the third ventricle, linking forebrain to midbrain.
- Hippocampal commissureCommissura hippocampiA thin triangular sheet of crossing fibres between the two crura of the fornix, under the splenium of the corpus callosum, linking the hippocampi.
- HippocampusA curved ridge of grey matter bulging into the lateral ventricle's temporal horn, central to forming memories and to spatial navigation.
- Hyoglossus muscleMusculus hyoglossusThe hyoglossus is a thin, flat tongue muscle rising from the hyoid bone into the side of the tongue, which it pulls down.
- Hyoid boneOs hyoideumA U-shaped bone across the front of the neck, below the chin and above the larynx, held in place by muscles and ligaments alone.
- Hypoglossal nerve (XII)Nervus hypoglossus (XII)The twelfth cranial nerve, a purely motor nerve that leaves the medulla, loops through the upper neck and moves almost every muscle of the tongue.
