Study anatomy with educational materials about bones, muscles, nerves and other body systems.

Skeletal system

Elbow joint: three joints in one capsule

A complex joint of three joints - flexion, extension and rotation of the forearm in one joint capsule.

Muscular system

Chest muscles: pectoralis major, pectoralis minor and intercostal muscles

The pectoralis major and minor, intercostals and serratus anterior are the muscles that move the arm and expand the chest.

Chest muscles: pectoralis major, pectoralis minor and intercostal muscles

Endocrine system

Adrenal glands: cortisol, adrenaline and stress

Hormones of stress, blood pressure and sexual function are two small organs above the kidneys with enormous influence.

Urinary system

Bladder: structure and function

A reservoir with a volume of up to 500 ml with a triple muscle layer - how the bladder works and how urination works.

Digestive system

Stomach: anatomy, sections and secretion

A muscular reservoir with hydrochloric acid inside - how the stomach works, what happens in it and why it does not digest itself.

Kidneys: structure, nephrons and blood filtration

Two bean-shaped organs filter 180 liters of blood per day. A million nephrons in each kidney - let's disassemble the device.

Cardiovascular system

Arteries and veins: structure of the vascular system

100,000 km of vessels permeate the body - from the aorta with a diameter of 3 cm to capillaries thinner than a hair. Structure of arteries, veins and capillaries.

Respiratory system

Lungs: anatomy, lobes, bronchial tree and gas exchange

The gas exchange area is 70 m², 300 million alveoli and 15,000 breaths per day. We disassemble the structure of the main respiratory organ.
