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 cerebellar pedunclePedunculus cerebellaris superiorA paired band of white matter that joins the cerebellum to the midbrain, carrying most of the cerebellum's output upward.
- Superior colliculusColliculus superiorOne of the paired upper mounds on the midbrain roof, a layered centre that turns eyes and head towards things seen and heard.
- Superior frontal gyrusGyrus frontalis superiorThe uppermost convolution of the frontal lobe, running front to back beside the longitudinal fissure and onto the medial surface.
- Superior frontal sulcusSulcus frontalis superiorA long groove on the outer surface of the frontal lobe that separates the superior frontal gyrus from the middle frontal gyrus.
- 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 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 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 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.
- 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 spinal cordSubstantia alba medullae spinalisThe outer layer of the spinal cord, made of myelinated nerve fibres arranged in columns that carry signals up to the brain and down from it.
