The arteries represent the oxygen-rich vascular system. The blood is driven by the heart, which is supplied with oxygenated blood by the bright red pulmonary veins (venae pulmonalis). The aorta leads to the lower center which is formed by the purple kidneys with the yellow adrenal glands and the genitals.

The blue veins transport deoxygenated blood to the heart. A special feature is the portal vein (vena portae) in lighter blue, which supplies nutrient-rich blood from the abdominal organs to the liver. The fine light-blue lymphatic vessels transport lymph integrating lymph nodes and play an important role in immune defense.

The upper nerve bundle shows nerves that stimulate (innervate) the skin and muscles of the arm. The right nerve bundle shows the sciatic nerve (nervus ischiadicus) with its branches that supply the back and side of the leg. The left nerve bundle shows the femoral nerve (nervus femoralis) which mainly supplies the front and inside of the leg.

The intestine is the central part of the digestive tract. It consists of the orange small intestine (intestinum tenue) and the large intestine (colon), colored here in gray. Both organs are supported by the connective tissue mesentery and are further subdivided into subsections. Labels are in Latin and Tibetan.

Twelve paired brain nerves arise directly from the brain stem. In this area there is an arterial ring (circulus arteriosus Willisi) which ensures the blood supply. The eye with the optic chiasm (optic nerve junction) and the trigeminal nerve with its branches supplying the face are particularly clearly visible.

The inner ear is filled with fluid (endolymph) and contains our organs of balance and hearing. The blue knitted membranous labyrinth ‘floats’ in this bony cavity, the yellow structures symbolize nerves that unite to form the eighth cranial nerve (vestibulocochlear nerve). The semicircular canals help us to orientate ourselves in space.

The greenish excretory ducts of the yellow pancreas lead to a papilla in the orange horseshoe-shaped duodenum. Here is the common orifice of the pancreatic duct (ductus pancreaticus) and common bile duct (ductus choledochus) that carries bile from the green gallbladder to the intestine. The red arteries show the branched system with its bypasses.

In a kidney transplantation, the recipient usually retains his own kidneys and adrenal glands, shown here in purple with the yellow adrenal glands. The donated kidney, shown here in pink, is transplanted into lower abdomen without the adrenal gland and connected to the iliac artery. Kidney are often donated by close relatives.

The colorful coils show the genetic blueprint of the spike protein on the Corona Virus. The four colors – yellow, orange, blue and green – correspond to the different individual nucleotides (bases). The mutations and deletion of the Delta variant are marked in pink, the manifold changes of the sequence of the Omicron variant are presented in aquamarine..

The gallbladder receives bile from the liver, which is released into the duodenum via the common bile duct. The liver receives arterial blood via the red vessels and nutrient-rich blood from the intestines via the light blue portal vein (vena portae). The metabolized blood leaves the liver through the hepatic veins into the inferior vena cava.
