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.

- Superior occipital gyriGyri occipitales superioresThe upper convolution on the outer surface of the occipital lobe, lying above the intraoccipital sulcus and close to the midline.
- Superior ophthalmic veinVena ophthalmica superiorThe main vein of the orbit, running from the inner corner of the eye back through the superior orbital fissure into the cavernous sinus.
- Superior pancreatic nodesNodi pancreatici superioresA chain of abdominal lymph nodes running along the upper border of the pancreas with the splenic artery, behind the stomach.
- Superior pancreaticoduodenal nodesNodi pancreaticoduodenales superioresThe upper set of lymph nodes in the groove between the head of the pancreas and the duodenum, along the superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries.
- Superior parathyroid glandGlandula parathyroidea superiorThe upper of the two parathyroid glands on each side, lying behind the middle of the thyroid lobe near the cricoid cartilage.
- Superior parietal lobuleLobulus parietalis superiorThe upper part of the parietal lobe behind the postcentral gyrus, above the intraparietal sulcus, used for spatial awareness and reaching.
- Superior petrosal sinusSinus petrosus superiorA narrow paired dural venous sinus along the upper ridge of the petrous temporal bone, from the cavernous sinus to the transverse sinus.
- Superior pharyngeal constrictorConstrictor superior pharyngisThe highest and thinnest of the three constrictors, forming the upper side and back walls of the pharynx behind the nose and mouth.
- Superior phrenic arteriesArteriae phrenicae superioresSmall paired branches from the lowest part of the thoracic aorta that feed the back of the diaphragm on its thoracic face.
- Superior pubic ligamentLigamentum pubicum superiusA thick band across the top of the pubic symphysis, joining the two pubic bones as far out as the pubic tubercles.
- Superior rectus muscleMusculus rectus superiorThe superior rectus is the straight muscle above the eyeball that runs from the back of the orbit and turns the gaze upwards.
- Superior sagittal sinusSinus sagittalis superiorThe large unpaired dural venous sinus running along the top of the skull in the attached edge of the falx cerebri.
- Superior salivatory nucleusNucleus salivatorius superiorA small parasympathetic nucleus in the pontine tegmentum whose fibres travel in the facial nerve to the tear, nasal and salivary glands.
- Superior semilunar lobuleLobulus semilunaris superiorA large lobule on the upper and back part of each cerebellar hemisphere, lying just above the horizontal fissure.
- Superior subscapular nerveNervus subscapularis superiorA short branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus that enters the upper part of the subscapularis muscle.
- Superior tarsusTarsus superiorThe larger, crescent-shaped plate of dense connective tissue that forms the framework of the upper eyelid and anchors the muscles that raise it.
- Superior temporal gyrus (Lateral part)The exposed outer face of the superior temporal gyrus, the top convolution of the temporal lobe just below the lateral sulcus.
- Superior temporal sulcusSulcus temporalis superiorThe long groove on the side of the temporal lobe between the superior and middle temporal gyri, a centre for voice, face and social perception.
- Superior thyroid veinVena thyroidea superiorThe vein draining the upper pole of the thyroid gland, running with the superior thyroid artery to the internal jugular vein.
- Superior tracheobronchial nodesNodi tracheobronchiales superioresLymph nodes lying in the angle between the lower trachea and each main bronchus, on both sides of the tracheal bifurcation.
- Superior transverse scapular ligamentLigamentum transversum superius scapulaeA thin band bridging the suprascapular notch on the upper border of the scapula, turning it into a foramen for the suprascapular nerve.
- Superior trunk of brachial plexusTruncus superior plexus brachialisThe upper trunk of the brachial plexus, formed by the C5 and C6 ventral rami at the lateral edge of the scalene gap.
- Superior ulnar collateral arteryArteria collateralis ulnaris superiorA branch of the brachial artery in the middle of the arm that runs with the ulnar nerve to the back of the medial epicondyle.
- Superior vena cavaVena cava superiorThe short, wide vein in the right superior mediastinum that returns blood from the upper body to the right atrium.
