Explore the human body in 3D

How to explore

• Rotate: drag. Zoom: scroll or pinch. The zoom goes toward whatever is under your cursor, and more detail loads as you get closer.
• Pan: right-drag, or two-finger drag. Reset view returns to the whole body.
• Layers: switch body systems on and off, or drag Depth to peel from outer layers to deep ones. Peel layers as you zoom in does it for you.
• Click a structure to name it, zoom to it, or hide it. Search to fly straight to any of the named structures.
• On a phone, use the layer toggles to keep it smooth. Full detail is heavy, so it only loads when you zoom in.

Credits and licence

The 3D models are derived from two open projects, and must be credited as follows:

• "BodyParts3D - The Database Center for Life Science - CC-BY-SA 2.1 Japan"
• "Z-Anatomy - The open source atlas of anatomy - CC-BY-SA 4.0"

We changed them: some structures were removed, and the geometry was simplified and compressed for the web. The modified models are shared under the same licence, CC BY-SA 4.0 (the BodyParts3D part under CC BY-SA 2.1 Japan). Read the original notice: License.txt.

Some parts of the original Z-Anatomy model set are non-commercial or have no stated licence (for example its kidney model, the inner ear and the white-matter tracts), so they are not included here. The kidneys and most of the surface of the brain (the cortex) come directly from BodyParts3D instead. A few small regions of the brain surface and the inner ear are still missing.
