Anatomy

The body, taken apart

104 parts in two stages, down to each vertebra, disc and rib. The skeleton opens first, then the organs lift forward out of the torso. Drag the Age slider to see how each part changes from infant to senior: sizes shift, and colours show growth, peak or decline.

The assembled body model: skeleton with organs inside — Adult, three-quarter view. The skeleton opens first, then the organs lift forward.

Age

Illustrative and population-typical only: real people vary widely, the model is a single adult male scaled for effect, and none of this is medical advice.
