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.

- Cusps of the aortic valveValvulae semilunares valvae aortaeThe three half-moon cusps of the aortic valve, guarding the outlet from the left ventricle into the aorta and named for the coronary arteries.
- Cusps of the pulmonary valveValvulae semilunares valvae trunci pulmonalisThe three semilunar cusps of the pulmonary valve, closing the outlet of the right ventricle into the pulmonary trunk.
- Inferior lobe of left lungLobus inferior pulmonis sinistriThe lower of the two lobes of the left lung, behind and below the oblique fissure, resting on the left dome of the diaphragm.
- Inferior lobe of right lungLobus inferior pulmonis dextriThe largest lobe of the right lung, lying behind and below the oblique fissure and resting on the right dome of the diaphragm.
- Intermediate bronchusBronchus intermediusThe short stretch of the right main bronchus between the upper-lobe branch and its division into middle and lower lobar bronchi.
- Left inferior lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris inferior sinisterThe lower terminal branch of the left main bronchus, running down and back into the lower lobe of the left lung.
- Left main bronchusBronchus principalis sinisterThe longer, narrower of the two airways formed where the trachea divides, carrying air beneath the aortic arch into the left lung.
- Left superior lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris superior sinisterThe upper of the two branches of the left main bronchus, supplying the upper lobe of the left lung and its lingula.
- Middle lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris mediusThe forward-running branch of the right intermediate bronchus that supplies the middle lobe of the right lung.
- Middle lobe of right lungLobus medius pulmonis dextriThe smallest lobe of the right lung, a wedge between the horizontal and oblique fissures lying against the front chest wall and heart.
- OesophagusThe muscular tube that carries swallowed food and drink from the pharynx, through the chest and diaphragm, to the stomach.
- Papillary musclesMusculi papillaresCone-shaped muscles projecting from the ventricular walls whose tendinous cords hold the leaflets of the tricuspid and mitral valves.
- PleuraThe thin serous membrane that covers each lung and lines the inside of the chest wall, enclosing a slit-like pleural cavity between.
- Right inferior lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris inferior dexterThe lower terminal branch of the right intermediate bronchus, continuing down and back into the lower lobe of the right lung.
- Right main bronchusBronchus principalis dexterThe short, wide and nearly vertical airway that leaves the lower end of the trachea for the right lung.
- Right superior lobar bronchusBronchus lobaris superior dexterThe first offshoot of the right main bronchus, arising above the right pulmonary artery to supply the upper lobe of the right lung.
- Segmental bronchiBronchi segmentalesThe tertiary airways of the lungs, each arising from a lobar bronchus to supply one bronchopulmonary segment, numbered BI to BX on each side.
- Superior lobe of left lungLobus superior pulmonis sinistriThe upper lobe of the left lung, holding the apex and the tongue-like lingula that curves round the front of the heart.
- Superior lobe of right lungLobus superior pulmonis dextriThe uppermost of the three lobes of the right lung, filling the top of the right chest above the horizontal and oblique fissures.
- 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.
