Human Body Subway Maps

The human body is an intricate network of systems working in harmony to sustain life. Understanding these interactions can be daunting. However, creative representations, such as subway maps, can simplify this complexity and make learning about anatomy more accessible and engaging.

Subway Map of the Human Anatomy

The detailed map of the human body's anatomy, illustrated in the style of a subway map, was created by Tufts Medical Center (Department of Otolaryngology and Neck Surgery). This map provides a visual representation of how various body systems intersect and interact, much like the interconnected lines of a city's subway system. It highlights major anatomical landmarks and pathways, making it easier to grasp the spatial relationships and functions of different body parts.

Gastrointestinal System Subway Map

Jack Anderson's simplified subway map of the gastrointestinal system offers an easy-to-understand overview of the digestive process. This map tracks the journey of food through the digestive tract, illustrating the key organs involved and their functions. It's a great tool for both students and anyone interested in understanding how digestion works.

Interactive and Animated Maps

For a more dynamic learning experience, interactive and animated maps are available. These maps offer a step-by-step guide through various body systems, providing a deeper understanding of physiological processes in real time. They can include features like zooming into specific organs, highlighting functions, and showing real-time simulations of bodily functions.

The best explanation of how our body works is the animation below.

Find cities with similar climate

This map has been created using The Global environmental stratification. The Global environmental stratification (GEnS), based on statistical clustering of bioclimate data (WorldClim). GEnS, consists of 125 strata, which have been aggregated into 18 global environmental zones (labeled A to R) based on the dendrogram.

Moose population in North America

The moose ( Alces alces ) is the largest member of the deer family, characterized by its massive size, long legs, and distinctive broad, palmate antlers found in males. They have a dark brown or black coat and a humped shoulder. Moose are primarily found in the boreal and mixed deciduous forests of North America, Europe, and Asia. They are solitary animals, often found near bodies of water, and are herbivores that feed on leaves, bark, twigs, and aquatic vegetation. Despite their size, moose are strong swimmers and can run up to 35 miles per hour. The moose population in North America is shrinking swiftly. This decrease has been correlated to the opening of roadways and landscapes into this animal's north range.   In North America, the moose range includes almost all of Canada and Alaska, the northern part of New England and New York, the upper Rocky Mountains, northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and Isle Royale.    In 2014-2015, the North American moo

Map of Fox Species Distribution

Foxes are small to medium-sized members of the Canidae family, which also includes wolves, dogs, and other related animals. There are about 37 species of foxes distributed around the world, and they inhabit a wide range of environments, from forests and grasslands to deserts and urban areas. Below is the map of fox species distribution  created by Reddit user isaacSW Here are some of the most well-known fox species and their distribution: Red Fox ( Vulpes vulpes ): The red fox is one of the most widely distributed fox species and is found in North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of North Africa. They are adaptable and can live in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and urban areas. Arctic Fox ( Vulpes lagopus ): The Arctic fox is found in the Arctic regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. They have adaptations that help them survive in cold climates, such as a thick coat that changes color with the seasons. Gray Fox ( Urocyon cinereoargenteus ): The gray fox
