Body systems
The atlas is organised into sixteen systems, the way anatomy is taught: the skeleton and its joints, the muscles, the heart and vessels, the nervous system and senses, and the organ systems of the trunk. Each page gives an overview, functions, clinical notes, the organs it contains and every modelled structure, with the system ready to open in 3D.
Skeleton
Bones and cartilage: the body's load-bearing frame.
Joints & ligaments
Ligaments, joint capsules, discs and membranes that bind the skeleton.
Teeth
The permanent dentition: 32 teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
Muscles
Skeletal muscles, tendons and aponeuroses that move the body.
Heart
Chambers, valves and walls of the heart, with the pericardium.
Arteries
Systemic and pulmonary arteries carrying blood away from the heart.
Veins
Systemic and pulmonary veins returning blood to the heart.

Brain, spinal cord, cranial and spinal nerves, ganglia and meninges.

Eyes and ears with their internal structures.
