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 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.
- Supramarginal gyrusGyrus supramarginalisThe front part of the inferior parietal lobule, a curved convolution arching over the back end of the lateral sulcus.
- Temporal planePlanum temporaleThe flat triangular area on the hidden upper surface of the superior temporal gyrus, behind the transverse temporal gyri.
- Temporal polePolus temporalisThe rounded front tip of the temporal lobe, resting in the middle cranial fossa behind the greater wing of the sphenoid bone.
- Tentorium cerebelliA tent-shaped fold of dura mater stretched between the occipital lobes above and the cerebellum below, at the back of the skull.
- ThalamusA large paired mass of grey matter in the diencephalon, forming the walls of the third ventricle and relaying signals to the cerebral cortex.
- Third ventricleVentriculus tertiusA narrow midline cavity of the diencephalon, lying between the two thalami and filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
- Tonsil of cerebellumTonsilla cerebelliA rounded lobule on the underside of each cerebellar hemisphere, lying beside the uvula just above the foramen magnum and the medulla.
- Transverse occipital sulcusSulcus occipitalis transversusA short groove crossing the upper part of the lateral occipital lobe, continuing back from the end of the intraparietal sulcus.
- Transverse temporal gyriGyri temporales transversiShort gyri on the upper surface of the temporal lobe, hidden inside the lateral sulcus, that form the primary auditory cortex.
- Triangular part of inferior frontal gyrusPars triangularis gyri frontalis inferiorisThe wedge-shaped middle portion of the inferior frontal gyrus, lying between the two front branches of the lateral sulcus, forming Brodmann area 45.
- Tuber of vermisTuber vermisA small lobule at the back of the inferior vermis, below the folium, continuous on each side with the inferior semilunar lobules.
- Uvula of vermisUvula vermisA tongue-shaped part of the inferior vermis of the cerebellum, lying between the pyramis and the nodule and flanked by the two tonsils.
- Vestibular nucleiNuclei vestibularesA group of four nuclei under the lateral floor of the fourth ventricle that receive the vestibular nerve and control balance, posture and eye stabilisation.
- White matter of telencephalonSubstantia alba telencephaliThe mass of myelinated nerve fibres beneath the cerebral cortex that links cortical areas with each other and with deeper parts of the nervous system.
- Wing of central lobuleAla lobuli centralisThe lateral extension of the central lobule on each side of the anterior lobe of the cerebellum, on its upper surface.
