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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Trigeminal nerve (V)Nervus trigeminus (V)The fifth cranial nerve, leaving the side of the pons to give feeling to the face and to work the chewing muscles.
- Trochlear nerve (IV)Nervus trochlearis (IV)The fourth cranial nerve, a slender motor nerve leaving the back of the midbrain to supply the eye's superior oblique muscle.
- Tympanic membraneMembrana tympanicaThe eardrum: a thin, slightly conical membrane at the inner end of the ear canal, separating the outer ear canal from the middle ear cavity.
- Ulnar nerveNervus ulnarisA main nerve of the upper limb from the medial cord, running behind the medial epicondyle to supply most small muscles of the hand.
- Vagus nerve (X)Nervus vagus (X)The tenth cranial nerve, which wanders from the medulla through the neck and chest into the abdomen to serve the viscera.
- Vestibular nerveNervus vestibularisThe balance division of the eighth cranial nerve, carrying signals from the semicircular canals, utricle and saccule to the brainstem.
- Vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)Nervus vestibulocochlearis (VIII)The eighth cranial nerve, which carries hearing and balance signals between the inner ear and the brainstem via the internal acoustic meatus.
- Zonular fibresFibrae zonularesFine fibres that hold the lens of the eye in place, running from the ciliary body to the lens capsule around its equator.
