Editorial policy

Anatomy education affects how people study and, later, practise. This page explains how study pages on Anatly are produced and what you can rely on.

Purpose and scope

Pages describe normal adult gross anatomy for students and curious readers: location, attachments, nerve and blood supply, action, and short clinical notes that show why the anatomy matters. They do not give advice about individual conditions, diagnosis or treatment.

How a page is produced

1. Draft. Text is drafted from a fixed template using standard references (see sources). Drafts can be assisted by large language models.
2. Verification. A human reviewer checks every attachment, nerve, vessel and action against the reference textbooks and terminology standards, and confirms that the 3D model matches the description.
3. Publication. Only pages that pass review are marked as reviewed, show the reviewer name and date, and are offered to search engines. Unreviewed pages carry a visible draft notice and a noindex tag.
4. Updates. Pages carry a last-updated date. Substantive changes go back through review.

Use of AI

The AI tutor and AI-generated quiz questions answer only from reviewed site content and say when they do not know. They can still make mistakes, so treat them as a study aid and check important facts against a textbook. AI never gives medical advice on this site. Voice narration is generated speech reading the same text as the page.

Corrections

If you find an error, please tell us. We correct confirmed errors promptly and update the date on the page.

Independence and advertising

Advertising, where shown, is clearly labelled, never placed inside the 3D atlas and never influences editorial content.
