Model notes & sources

Brain, heart, lung, and kidney organ views use optimized Human Reference Atlas models. The nervous-system cell view uses an experimental human pyramidal-neuron reconstruction from NeuroMorpho.Org, and the molecule stage uses a chain-backbone derivative of human ATP synthase structure 8H9S. Other organ and microscopic worlds remain representative educational models, normalized between scale stages. Not diagnostic anatomy.
