Human Anatomy

Human anatomy deals with the structural relationships of body systems, organs and their parts, representing key features underlying human physiological function. Wolfram|Alpha computes the connectivities and typical locations of body parts, the physical and developmental properties of teeth, and body measurement statistics including height, weight and body mass index (BMI).

Anatomical Structures

Retrieve and compare basic facts about major internal organs, bones, muscles and blood vessels.

Get information about a human anatomical structure:

heart
femur

Use a UMLS Concept Unique Identifier to find an anatomical structure:

UMLS C0824660

Compare human anatomical structures:

ileum and jejunum
radius and ulna
aorta and inferior vena cava

Get data on groups or systems within human anatomy:

bones
