Body explorer: frequently asked questions
Is this a substitute for medical advice?
No. The body explorer is for learning how the body works. It is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace advice from a clinician. If you have symptoms, see our symptom guides or speak to a health professional.
How do I find a specific bone or muscle?
Click the body area it is in, then use the type filter (bones, muscles, nerves, vessels, organs) or the search box within that area to narrow down, and click the one you want to read about.
Where does the information come from?
From our own plain-English, clinically reviewed anatomy guides. The explorer is simply an interactive way to navigate them.
