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.

- Tarsal bonesOssa tarsiThe tarsal bones are seven short bones forming the back half of the foot, from the ankle joint to the bases of the metatarsals.
- Tectospinal tractTractus tectospinalisA crossed descending pathway from the superior colliculus of the midbrain to the upper cervical cord that turns the head towards sights and sounds.
- TeethDentesThe teeth are the hard structures set in the upper and lower jaws that cut, tear and grind food, arranged in two curved arches.
- Temporal boneOs temporaleA paired bone at the side and base of the skull that houses the ear and forms the upper half of the jaw joint.
- Temporal branches of middle cerebral arteryRami temporales arteriae mediae cerebriThe group of cortical branches that the middle cerebral artery sends down from the lateral sulcus over the lateral surface of the temporal lobe.
- 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.
- Temporalis muscleMusculus temporalisTemporalis is the broad, fan-shaped chewing muscle that fills the temple on each side of the skull and closes the jaw.
- Temporo-occipital branchRamus temporooccipitalis arteriae cerebri mediaeThe most posterior temporal branch of the middle cerebral artery, running back along the temporal lobe towards the lateral occipital region.
- Temporoparietalis muscleMusculus temporoparietalisTemporoparietalis is a thin, variable sheet of scalp muscle lying over the side of the head above and in front of the ear.
- Tentorium cerebelliA tent-shaped fold of dura mater stretched between the occipital lobes above and the cerebellum below, at the back of the skull.
- Teres major muscleMusculus teres majorTeres major is a thick, rounded muscle running from the lower angle of the scapula to the front of the upper humerus.
- Teres minor muscleMusculus teres minorTeres minor is a slim rotator cuff muscle running from the outer border of the scapula to the back of the greater tubercle.
- 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.
- Thoracic aortaAorta thoracicaThe descending part of the aorta inside the chest, running down the posterior mediastinum from the fourth to the twelfth thoracic vertebra.
- Thoracic vertebraeVertebrae thoracicaeThe thoracic vertebrae are the twelve vertebrae of the upper and middle back, each joining a pair of ribs to form the back of the thorax.
- Thoraco-acromial arteryArteria thoracoacromialisA short arterial trunk from the axillary artery that pierces the clavipectoral fascia and splits into four branches over the front of the shoulder.
- Thoracodorsal arteryArteria thoracodorsalisThe continuing branch of the subscapular artery, running down the posterior wall of the axilla with its nerve into latissimus dorsi.
- Thoracodorsal nerveNervus thoracodorsalisA nerve of the brachial plexus, from its posterior cord, that runs down the back wall of the axilla to supply latissimus dorsi.
- Thoracodorsal veinVena thoracodorsalisA vein on the lateral chest wall that drains latissimus dorsi and runs up with the thoracodorsal artery and nerve to join the subscapular vein.
- Thyro-epiglottic part of thyro-arytenoid musclePars thyreoepiglottica musculi thyreoarytenoideiThe thyro-epiglottic part is a thin slip of the thyro-arytenoid muscle that runs from the inside of the thyroid cartilage to the epiglottis.
- Thyrocervical trunkTruncus thyreocervicalisA short, wide branch of the first part of the subclavian artery that splits at once into several arteries for the neck, thyroid and shoulder.
- Thyrohyoid muscleMusculus thyreohyoideusThyrohyoid is a small, four-sided infrahyoid muscle that joins the thyroid cartilage of the larynx to the greater horn of the hyoid.
