Most of our body pictures are traced from free medical drawings that their makers share for anyone to use. Here's where each one comes from and what we changed.
Head
- Original
- Skull and brain, side view cut down the middle
- Made by
- Patrick J. Lynch, medical illustrator; C. Carl Jaffe, MD, cardiologist
- License

Traced the skull, brain, brainstem, and spinal cord and gave them our colors. Made the brain a little smaller so the cushion fluid around it is easy to see, and colored that fluid blue. The neck bones come from the spine drawing below.

Traced the hips and legs, grouped the muscles into the ones our lessons teach, and gave them our colors, shading, and fiber lines. Our changed leg pictures are shared under the same license.
Knee
