The human body is an amazing piece of architecture. Man has been studying anatomy since at least 1600BC, when the ancient Egyptians first began to map the way our bodies work.

Whether you're studying anatomy, cramming for an exam, or just have a curiosity to find out more about what makes you tick, this is an amazing website.

Navigate through each region of the body by clicking the links in the navigation panel on the left. Every part of the body is covered, literally from head to toe, and beautifully illustrated with interactive diagrams that peel away the layers of our anatomy for all to see. You can click the labels on and off so you know exactly what you're looking at.

If you register, which is free, you can even use the site's extensive self-testing exercises, which ask you to place the labels on the diagrams in an allotted amount of time; skilled labellers could rank among the website's most brainy users.

One slight flaw, I couldn't register with Firefox on my PC, and after contacting the site's owners they say there are also issues with Safari on the Mac, which they are working hard to fix. Just try another browser if you're have problems signing up.
