About Anatomy Interface
A free 3D anatomy site for medical students. No login, no adverts, no trackers.
What it is
A 3D body you can turn, peel layer by layer (skin, fascia, muscles, vessels, lymph, nerves, skeleton, organs) and tap to name any part. Each organ system has its own page with the 3D model, open images (imaging, histology and diagrams) and short "What goes wrong" excerpts from US government health websites. There is also a heart page, a skin page and six region pages (head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, upper limb, lower limb).
Coming soon: female anatomy. The 3D body and the reproductive page are male only for now, because the open 3D dataset the site is built on (Z-Anatomy) has no female model. A female model built from open data is being planned.
Free, built from open data
Every note, image and 3D model on the site comes from an openly licensed source, and each one shows its title, author, a link to its source and a link to its licence. One known gap: Z-Anatomy says it drew on a few other models but doesn't record which parts came from which (see the Credits page).
- 3D models: Z-Anatomy (CC BY-SA 4.0), built on BodyParts3D (CC BY-SA 2.1 Japan, as Z-Anatomy states it); the renal pelvis from the Human Reference Atlas and the inner ear from IE-Map (both CC BY 4.0); the body surface from MakeHuman (CC0).
- Notes: short excerpts copied word for word from Wikipedia, through Z-Anatomy's definitions (CC BY-SA 3.0) or from the part's own article (CC BY-SA 4.0), and some from Z-Anatomy's own text (CC BY-SA 4.0).
- Images: from Wikimedia Commons and Servier Medical Art, each under its own licence: CC BY-SA, CC BY, CC0 or public domain.
- "What goes wrong" and the skin overview: excerpts from US government health websites (NIH institutes, the National Cancer Institute and MedlinePlus): public domain (US government work); the skin overview also quotes Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0).
These notes, images and models keep their original licences and can be reused under those terms. The 3D models we adapted are shared under CC BY-SA 4.0, as the Z-Anatomy licence requires. The site's own code, design and tools are not openly licensed. The full list of every source, with its author and licence, is on the Credits and licences page.
Please read: for learning only
For learning only, not clinical use. Not clinically reviewed; may contain errors.
Anatomy Interface is a study aid for learning anatomy. It is not medical advice. Do not use it to diagnose, treat or make any decision about a patient, or about your own health. If you are worried about your health, talk to a doctor or other qualified health professional.
The 3D models are simplified and some parts are placed approximately. Text excerpts are copied from their sources and may be out of date or wrong. Some parts show a note about the larger structure they belong to ("About the …"), and some have no note yet ("Unsourced").
How it was made
The site was built with the help of an AI assistant (Claude, made by Anthropic). The AI wrote the code and the build scripts. It did not write the anatomy or medical text: the notes and excerpts are copied from their sources, with a link to each one.
Automated tests and separate AI agents checked the work: they compared notes against their sources, checked every image and text licence, and opened every page at phone and desktop size. No doctor, anatomist or other clinician has reviewed the content. If you find a mistake, please tell us.
About the founder
Anatomy Interface is built by Dhruv Dhanda, a first-year medical student.
Good anatomy tools shouldn't sit behind a paywall. This one is free, built from open data, and credits every source, so any student can explore the body in 3D and learn what goes wrong without paying for it.

Every note, condition and page has a Report a mistake link. It opens an email to hello@anatomyinterface.com with the page and part already filled in.
Privacy
The site sets no cookies and has no analytics, adverts or trackers. Your theme and view settings (light or dark theme, the homepage's view mode and labels, whether skin is included in the tour, and whether you have closed the phone screen note) are kept in your own browser (local storage) and never sent anywhere. The site loads nothing from other websites: the fonts (Geist and JetBrains Mono), the 3D library and every image are served from this site. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages.
