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.
145–168 of 1303
- Calcaneal branches of fibular arteryRami calcanei arteriae fibularisThe terminal branches of the fibular artery, passing behind the lateral malleolus to supply the lateral and back parts of the heel.
- Calcaneal branches of posterior tibial arteryRami calcanei arteriae tibialis posteriorisSmall branches of the posterior tibial artery near the medial ankle that pierce the flexor retinaculum to supply the medial and plantar heel.
- Calcaneocuboid ligamentLigamentum calcaneocuboideumThe lateral limb of the Y-shaped bifurcate ligament on the top of the foot, joining the front of the calcaneus to the cuboid.
- Calcaneofibular ligamentLigamentum calcaneofibulareA rounded cord on the outer side of the ankle passing down from the lowest point of the fibula to the side of the heel bone.
- Calcaneonavicular ligamentLigamentum calcaneonaviculareThe medial limb of the Y-shaped bifurcate ligament on the top of the foot, joining the front of the calcaneus to the navicular.
- CalcaneusThe heel bone, biggest of all the foot bones, which takes the weight of the body at heel strike and anchors the Achilles tendon.
- Calcarine sulcusSulcus calcarinusA deep groove on the medial surface of the occipital lobe, running forward from the occipital pole and lined by the primary visual cortex.
- Callosomarginal arteryArteria callosomarginalisA large branch of the anterior cerebral artery that runs in the cingulate sulcus on the medial surface of the hemisphere.
- Capitohamate interosseous ligamentLigamentum capitohamatum interosseumA short, strong ligament deep in the distal row of the carpus, binding the capitate to the hamate across their facing surfaces.
- Carpal bonesOssa carpiThe carpal bones are eight small, irregular bones packed in two rows at the wrist, linking the forearm bones to the bases of the metacarpals.
- Cauda equinaThe sheaf of lumbar, sacral and coccygeal nerve roots that hangs below the lower tip of the spinal cord inside the lower dural sac.
- Caudate nucleusNucleus caudatusA C-shaped mass of grey matter curving along the lateral ventricle, forming with the putamen the dorsal striatum of the basal ganglia.
- Cavernous sinusSinus cavernosusA paired dural venous sinus on each side of the sella turcica, crossed by the internal carotid artery and several cranial nerves.
- Central axillary nodesNodi axillares centralesA group of large lymph nodes set in the fat at the centre of the axilla, near its base, between the other axillary groups.
- Central canalCanalis centralisThe narrow fluid-filled channel running down the centre of the spinal cord, continuous above with the brain's fourth ventricle.
- Central lobuleLobulus centralis vermisA small lobule of the cerebellar vermis on the front upper surface, lying above the lingula with a wing extending into each hemisphere.
- Central retinal arteryArteria centralis retinaeA small branch of the ophthalmic artery that travels inside the optic nerve to the eye and supplies the inner layers of the retina.
- Central sulcusSulcus centralisThe deep groove crossing the side of each cerebral hemisphere, dividing the frontal from the parietal lobe and motor from sensory cortex.
- Central superior mesenteric nodesNodi mesenterici superiores centralesThe central group of superior mesenteric lymph nodes, gathered around the main stem of the superior mesenteric artery at the root of the mesentery.
- Cephalic veinVena cephalicaA superficial vein running up the radial side of the forearm and arm to the deltopectoral groove and axillary vein.
- Cervical vertebraeVertebrae cervicalesThe cervical vertebrae are the seven small bones of the neck spine, between the skull and the thorax, each with a foramen in its transverse process.
- Chorda tympaniA facial nerve branch crossing the middle ear to join the lingual nerve, carrying front-tongue taste and secretory fibres for two salivary glands.
- Choroid plexusPlexus chorioideusFringed vascular tufts lining parts of the brain's ventricles, which secrete most of the cerebrospinal fluid and form the blood-CSF barrier.
- Cingulate gyrus and sulcus (Middle anterior part)The front half of the middle cingulate gyrus and sulcus, arching over the trunk of the corpus callosum on each medial hemisphere.
