SkullAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: the bones at the very top of the body.
The bony case of the head. It protects the brain and is made of 22 bones, most joined by fixed seams.
MandibleAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: a single curved bone at the lower front of the head.

The shoulder blade: a flat, triangular bone on the upper back that forms the socket of the shoulder joint.
SternumAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: a flat bone down the middle of the chest.
The breastbone. The upper ribs attach to it through cartilage.
RibsAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: curved bones forming a cage around the chest.
Twelve pairs of curved bones that protect the heart and lungs and help with breathing.
Vertebral columnAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: a column of small stacked bones running from the base of the head to the hips.
33 vertebrae, some fused together, that hold the body upright and protect the spinal cord.
HumerusAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: a pair of long bones between the shoulders and the elbows.
The upper arm bone, from the shoulder to the elbow.
RadiusAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: one of the two bones between each elbow and wrist, on the thumb side.
The forearm bone on the thumb side. It turns around the ulna to rotate the palm up or down.
UlnaAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: one of the two bones between each elbow and wrist, on the little-finger side.
The forearm bone on the little-finger side. Its tip forms the point of the elbow.
CarpalsAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: a cluster of small bones where each hand meets the arm.
Eight small wrist bones, arranged in two rows.
PhalangesAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: the many small bones at the ends of the hands and feet.
The finger and toe bones: 14 in each hand and 14 in each foot.
PelvisAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: a broad ring of bones at the hips.
A ring of bones at the hips. It carries the weight of the upper body and protects the bladder.
FemurAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: a pair of long bones between the hips and the knees.
The thigh bone, the longest and strongest bone in the body.
PatellaAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: a small rounded bone at the front of each knee.
The kneecap. It sits in the tendon at the front of the knee and protects the joint.
TibiaAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: the thicker of the two bones between each knee and ankle, on the inner side.
The shinbone, the larger of the two lower-leg bones. It carries most of the body's weight.
FibulaAn unlabelled front view of a grey human skeleton with one bone highlighted in orange: the thinner of the two bones between each knee and ankle, on the outer side.
The thin outer bone of the lower leg. It carries little weight but anchors muscles and steadies the ankle.

2Organs13 cards

BrainAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a large rounded organ filling the top of the head.
Controls thought, movement and the senses. At rest it uses about a fifth of the body's energy.
HeartAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a fist-sized organ in the middle of the chest, tilted towards the body's left.
A muscular pump that pushes blood around the body, beating about 100,000 times a day.
LungsAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a pair of large organs filling most of the chest, above a dome-shaped sheet.
Take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. The left lung is smaller, leaving room for the heart.
TracheaAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a ringed tube running down the neck into the chest, where it branches in two.
The windpipe. It carries air to the lungs and splits into two bronchi; rings of cartilage keep it open.
DiaphragmAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a dome-shaped sheet stretched across the body just below the chest organs.
A dome-shaped muscle under the lungs. It tightens and flattens to draw air in.
OesophagusAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a long, narrow tube running from the throat down through the chest.
The food pipe. Waves of muscle push swallowed food down to the stomach.
StomachAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a curved pouch in the upper abdomen, towards the body's left.
Stores and churns food, mixing it with acid and enzymes that start to digest protein.
LiverAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a large wedge-shaped organ in the upper abdomen, mostly on the body's right.
The largest internal organ. It processes nutrients, removes toxins and makes bile.
GallbladderAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a small green pouch tucked under the large organ at the upper right of the abdomen.
A small pouch under the liver that stores bile and releases it to help digest fat.
PancreasAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a long, narrow gland lying across the upper abdomen.
Makes digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagon, which control blood sugar.
Small intestineAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a long, tightly coiled tube filling the middle of the abdomen.
The longest part of the gut, several metres long. Most nutrients are absorbed here.
Large intestineAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a wide tube framing the coiled middle of the abdomen on three sides and ending low in the pelvis.
Absorbs water and salts from what is left of food and forms the waste into stool.
KidneysAn unlabelled front-view diagram of the body in grey with one organ in colour: a pair of bean-shaped organs at the back of the abdomen, one on each side.
Two bean-shaped organs that filter the blood and make urine.

3Body systems4 cards

Skeletal systemAn unlabelled front view of a whole human skeleton, every bone in orange.
206 bones in an adult. It supports and protects the body, and bone marrow makes blood cells.
Digestive systemAn unlabelled colour diagram of one continuous passage from the mouth to the bottom of the abdomen, with the organs beside it, inside a body outline.
Breaks food down and absorbs nutrients, on a path from the mouth to the anus.
Respiratory systemAn unlabelled colour diagram of the nose and throat, a ringed tube and two large branching organs in the chest, with a close-up of tiny grape-like sacs.
Moves air in and out, and swaps oxygen for carbon dioxide in the lungs' tiny air sacs.
Circulatory systemAn unlabelled human figure covered in a branching network of red and blue vessels, with a pump-shaped organ in the chest.
The heart and blood vessels, carrying oxygen and nutrients to every cell and taking waste away.
