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.
1225–1248 of 1303
- Thyroid cartilageCartilago thyreoideaThe largest cartilage of the larynx, a shield of two plates meeting in front of the neck to form the Adam's apple.
- Thyroid glandGlandula thyreoideaA butterfly-shaped endocrine gland in the lower front of the neck, wrapped around the larynx and upper trachea, that makes thyroid hormones and calcitonin.
- Thyroid nodesNodi thyreoideiDeep anterior cervical lymph nodes lying on and around the thyroid gland in the lower front of the neck.
- TibiaThe shin bone, the larger and more medial of the two leg bones, carrying body weight from the knee to the ankle.
- Tibial nerveNervus tibialisThe bigger of the sciatic nerve's two end branches, running through the popliteal fossa and calf to divide behind the medial malleolus.
- Tibialis anterior muscleMusculus tibialis anteriorThe thick muscle of the shin, lying beside the tibia and passing in front of the ankle to the inner side of the foot.
- Tibialis posterior muscleMusculus tibialis posteriorThe deepest muscle at the back of the leg, lying between tibia and fibula and passing behind the medial malleolus to the navicular.
- Tibiocalcaneal ligamentLigamentum calcaneotibialeThe middle superficial band of the deltoid ligament, dropping almost vertically from the medial malleolus to the sustentaculum tali.
- Tibionavicular ligamentLigamentum tibionaviculareThe front superficial band of the deltoid ligament, running forwards from the medial malleolus to the navicular tuberosity.
- TongueLinguaA highly mobile muscular organ in the floor of the mouth, used for chewing, swallowing, taste and speech.
- 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.
- TracheaThe windpipe: a flexible tube stiffened by cartilage rings that runs from the larynx in the neck to its division into the two main bronchi.
- Transverse acetabular ligamentLigamentum transversum acetabuliA strong band bridging the notch in the lower rim of the hip socket, completing the ring of the acetabular labrum.
- Transverse arytenoid muscleMusculus arytenoideus transversusThe transverse arytenoid is an unpaired muscle at the back of the larynx that bridges the two arytenoid cartilages and draws them together.
- Transverse cervical arteryArteria transversa colli arteria transversa cervicisAn offshoot of the thyrocervical trunk that crosses low through the posterior triangle to supply trapezius and the scapular muscles.
- Transverse colonColon transversumThe longest and most mobile segment of the colon, hanging across the abdomen from the hepatic flexure to the splenic flexure.
- Transverse facial arteryArteria transversa facieiA branch of the superficial temporal artery that crosses the side of the face just below the zygomatic arch, over the masseter.
- Transverse head of adductor hallucisCaput transversum adductoris hallucisThe narrow head of adductor hallucis that crosses the sole just behind the toes, from the lateral metatarsophalangeal joints to the great toe.
- Transverse head of adductor pollicisCaput transversum adductoris pollicisThe transverse head of adductor pollicis is the deep, fan-shaped part of the thumb's adductor, running across the palm from the third metacarpal.
- Transverse humeral ligamentLigamentum transversum humeriA broad band bridging the top of the intertubercular groove of the humerus, holding the long biceps tendon in place.
- Transverse ligament of kneeLigamentum transversum genusA short band at the front of the knee joint joining the anterior ends of the medial and lateral menisci.
- 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 part of iliofemoral ligamentPars transversa ligamenti iliofemoralisThe upper, lateral limb of the Y-shaped iliofemoral ligament, crossing the front of the hip from the ilium towards the greater trochanter.
- Transverse part of trapezius musclePars transversa musculi trapeziiThe transverse part of trapezius is the middle portion of the muscle, running horizontally from the upper thoracic spines to the acromion and scapular spine.
