About Gross Anatomy Lab

Identify organs, dissect systems and label structures in this free online human anatomy game for medical and biology students.

Gross Anatomy Lab is a free online anatomy game where you perform donor dissections, swap surgical instruments and identify landmarks without nicking delicate nerves. This dissection game compresses a medical school rite of passage into careful tool work.

Real dissection is a craft of layers. Scalpels open skin, scissors and forceps separate fascia and retractors hold the field so deeper structures stay visible. Each tool exists because tissue planes differ and the game teaches that instrument choice matters as much as the cut itself.

The anatomy you expose follows true thoracic organization. The pleural cavities cradle the lungs, the mediastinum carries the heart and great vessels and nerves like the phrenic and vagus thread through exactly where careless cuts would injure them. Anatomists rely on constant landmarks precisely because nerves and vessels vary between bodies, which is the vigilance this game demands.
