App content
Head
The head houses essential organs responsible for sensory processing, cognitive functions, and vital physiological activities. The brain, enclosed within the skull, regulates thought, memory, emotion, and motor coordination.
Key sensory organs are located in the head. The eyes are responsible for vision, the ears for hearing and maintaining equilibrium, the nose for olfaction and respiration, and the mouth for gustation, speech, and the initial stage of digestion.
Inner regions of the head
The inner brain contains key structures that support vital body and mental functions. The thalamus relays sensory and motor signals. The hypothalamus controls hunger, thirst, sleep, body temperature, and hormone levels.
The limbic system, including the hippocampus and amygdala, manages memory and emotions. The basal ganglia regulate movement and habits. The brainstem controls breathing, heart rate, and links the brain to the spinal cord. These regions work together to maintain essential brain functions and keep the body in balance.
Brain
The human brain, protected by the skull, is the central organ of the nervous system. It controls vital functions, stores memories, and enables decision-making.
Neurons communicate through synapses, creating networks that support behavior, sensation, and perception. Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize, is essential for learning and recovery, demonstrating its complexity and resilience.
Brain and senses
The brain, as the core of the nervous system, processes sensory input and controls body functions. It interprets signals from vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
Each sense is processed in specific brain regions: the occipital lobe for vision, temporal lobes for hearing, parietal lobe for touch, olfactory bulb for smell, and gustatory cortex for taste.
Eye
The eye is a vital organ for vision, made up of structures that capture and process light. The cornea, a transparent outer layer, helps focus incoming light. The iris, the colored part of the eye, controls how much light enters through the pupil.
Behind the iris, the lens further focuses light onto the retina. The retina contains photoreceptor cells, rods for low light and peripheral vision, and cones for color and detail. These cells convert light into electrical signals, which are sent to the brain through the optic nerve.
Eye detail
The retina contains rods and cones that convert light into electrical signals. Rods support vision in low light, while cones detect color and fine detail. The macula, especially the fovea at its center, enables sharp central vision.
Visual signals travel through the optic nerve to the brain for processing. The choroid provides oxygen and nutrients to the eye, while the optic disc, where the optic nerve exits, creates a natural blind spot. Together, these structures support precise and dynamic vision.
Ear
The ear, responsible for hearing and balance, has three sections: outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Each part captures and processes sound waves and maintains equilibrium.
Ear detail
The outer ear consists of the pinna and ear canal, directing sound waves to the eardrum, which vibrates in response. These vibrations pass to the middle ear, where the ossicles amplify and transmit them to the inner ear through the oval window.
The inner ear contains the cochlea and vestibular system. The cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ, uses hair cells to convert vibrations into electrical signals, which travel to the brain via the auditory nerve and are perceived as sound. The vestibular system, including semicircular canals and otolith organs, senses head movement and position, helping maintain balance and spatial orientation.
Neck and larynx
The neck connects the head to the torso, housing the trachea, esophagus, major blood vessels, and cervical spine. It supports and provides head mobility. The neck has anterior, lateral, and posterior regions, each with muscles, nerves, and lymph nodes for movement, sensation, and immune response.
The larynx, or voice box, below the pharynx, produces sound and protects the trachea from food aspiration. The larynx is vital for breathing, speaking, and swallowing.
Thorax
The human thorax, or chest, protects the heart, lungs, and essential structures. It is enclosed by the rib cage, which consists of the sternum and ribs, providing structural support and connecting to the shoulder girdle and upper limbs.
The diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle at the thorax's base, is critical for respiration. It contracts during inhalation to expand the lungs and relaxes during exhalation to expel air. This coordination is vital for effective breathing and respiratory health.
Abdomen
The male abdomen houses vital organs for digestion, excretion, and other functions. Enclosed by abdominal muscles, it provides support, protection, and aids in movement and posture.
Key organs include the stomach, liver, pancreas, small and large intestine. The urinary bladder stores urine, and parts of the reproductive system aid in sperm transport and ejaculation. Major blood vessels and nerves ensure nutrient supply and function regulation. The male abdomen is essential for various physiological processes.
Male pelvis
The male pelvis supports the spine and houses key urinary, digestive, and reproductive organs. It is formed by three bones, the ilium, ischium, and pubis, which create a strong framework for muscle and ligament attachment.
Key organs include the bladder and rectum. Pelvic floor muscles support these organs, aiding in continence and bowel movements.
Male skeleton
The male skeleton, consisting of 206 bones, provides structural support, protects vital organs, and enables movement. It is divided into two main parts: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.
The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage, forming the body’s central framework.
The appendicular skeleton comprises the pectoral girdle, arm bones, pelvic girdle, and leg bones, allowing for limb movement and connecting the limbs to the axial skeleton.
Back
The back supports body weight, enables movement, and protects the spinal cord. It consists of the vertebral column, muscles, ligaments, and nerves.
Back muscles provide strength for lifting, bending, and twisting, while ligaments connect vertebrae to maintain spinal stability. Nerves branching from the spinal cord ensure communication between the brain and limbs, essential for both movement and sensation.
Spine
The spine, or vertebral column, supports the body, allows flexibility, and protects the spinal cord. It is made up of 33 vertebrae divided into five regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal. Intervertebral discs between vertebrae cushion and allow flexibility.
The sacrum connects the spine to the pelvis, distributing weight, while the tailbone serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments. The spine surrounds the spinal cord, which carries signals between the brain and body. Ligaments and muscles attached to the spine ensure stability, mobility, and protect neural structures.
Upper limb
The upper limb, which includes the shoulder, arm, forearm, wrist, and hand, allows a wide range of movements and functions.
Its skeletal framework consists of the pectoral girdle, upper arm, and forearm. The wrist contains eight carpal bones, while the hand has five metacarpals and fourteen phalanges.
Major muscles include the deltoid (shoulder), biceps brachii and triceps brachii (elbow), and various forearm muscles that control the wrist and fingers. Nerves from the brachial plexus provide both motor control and sensory input.
Lower limb
The lower limb supports weight, enables movement, and maintains balance. It includes the hip, thigh, knee, leg, ankle, and foot.
Key bones include the pelvic girdle, femur, tibia, fibula, and the bones of the ankle and foot.
Major muscles include gluteals (hip movement), quadriceps (knee extension), hamstrings (knee flexion and hip extension), calves (plantar flexion), and foot muscles.

Muscular system (male)
The muscular system enables movement, maintains posture, and supports vital functions with three muscle types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
Skeletal muscles are voluntary, attaching to bones via tendons for movements like walking and lifting. They work in pairs, with one muscle contracting while the other relaxes. Key muscles include biceps, triceps, quadriceps, hamstrings, pectorals, and abdominals.
Smooth muscles are involuntary, found in organs like the stomach, intestines, blood vessels, and bladder.
Cardiac muscle, found only in the heart, is specialized and involuntary.
Hand
The hand is essential for tasks from fine motor skills to powerful grasps. It is made up of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels.
The hand contains 27 bones: 8 carpals in the wrist, 5 metacarpals in the palm, and 14 phalanges in the fingers. The carpal bones allow wrist movement, the metacarpals support the fingers, and each finger has three phalanges except the thumb, which has two.
Foot
The foot supports body weight, enables movement, and maintains balance through its bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels.
It contains 26 bones: 7 tarsals, 5 metatarsals, and 14 phalanges. The tarsals form the arches, metatarsals connect to the phalanges, and each toe has three phalanges except the big toe, which has two.
Intrinsic foot muscles control fine movements and support the arches, while extrinsic muscles from the lower leg generate larger movements like walking and running. Important tendons, such as the Achilles tendon, connect muscles to bones, and ligaments like the plantar fascia provide arch support.
Teeth
Teeth are crucial for biting, chewing, and speaking. Humans have two sets of teeth: primary (baby) teeth and permanent (adult) teeth, with adults typically having 32. These are divided into incisors for cutting, canines for tearing, premolars for crushing, and molars for grinding food.
Each tooth has a crown, a root and a neck (where the crown and root meet). The crown is covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the body.
Female chest
Female breasts, composed of glandular tissue, fat, and connective tissue, are crucial for lactation. Glandular tissue produces milk, which ducts transport to the nipple, surrounded by the areola. Fat tissue determines size and shape, while connective tissue provides support.
Female pelvis
The female pelvis supports the upper body, protects reproductive organs, and aids childbirth. It includes the ilium, ischium, pubis, sacrum, and coccyx, connecting the spine to the lower limbs.
The pelvic cavity contains the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. The uterus hosts pregnancy, ovaries produce eggs and hormones, and fallopian tubes enable egg passage and fertilization.
The head houses essential organs responsible for sensory processing, cognitive functions, and vital physiological activities. The brain, enclosed within the skull, regulates thought, memory, emotion, and motor coordination.
Key sensory organs are located in the head. The eyes are responsible for vision, the ears for hearing and maintaining equilibrium, the nose for olfaction and respiration, and the mouth for gustation, speech, and the initial stage of digestion.
