Using the Anatomy Tree to explore anatomy at different levels of detail

1. Launch the Anatomy Tree

Before you can start exploring, you will need to open the Anatomy Tree, whose location will vary depending on which part of the platform you are using.

If you are using the web app in View mode:

1. Hover over the model in Explore or My Library.
2. Click View or View Tour to open the model in View mode.
   • 
3. Click the Menu button in the lower-right corner of the page.
4. Select Search.
   • 

If you are using Human Studio (in the web app):

1. Hover over the model in Explore or My Library.
2. Click Customize in Studio .
   • 
3. Click the Anatomy tab in the sidebar on the left.
   • 

If you are using the Human Viewer (i.e., a published/embedded model): 

The process for launching the Anatomy Tree in the Human Viewer is the same as it is in View mode in the web app:

1. Click the Menu button in the lower-right corner of the Viewer.
2. Select Search.
   • 

2. Start exploring!

Once the Anatomy Tree is open, you can use it to explore the anatomy that makes up your model:

1. Click on the drop-down arrow next to the anatomical system name, such as Muscular system. This will open the next anatomical grouping in the list.

   Note: After the anatomical system, the next grouping is usually a set of regions (such as the muscles of the head and neck, back, upper limb, etc.) or functional areas (such as the heart, arterial system, and venous system).

2. Continue using the drop-down arrows next to each anatomical grouping to expand lower and lower levels of detail.
3. Click on the name of the anatomical grouping to select it. The grouping – and everything it contains – will turn yellow in the 3D model to the right.

To collapse an anatomical grouping, click on the drop-down arrow again.
