Legal
Terms of Use
These terms govern your use of BodyAnswers. They are deliberately short, because the important points are few: this is an educational reference rather than a clinical service, using it does not put anyone here in a professional relationship with you, and the anatomy models are licensed from a third party on terms that carry over to anyone who reuses them.
Educational use only
BodyAnswers is published as educational software for students. It is not a medical device, not a clinical decision support tool, and not a diagnostic service. Nothing here should be used to make a treatment decision, to triage a patient, or in place of an assessment by a qualified professional.
BodyAnswers is educational software for students. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and nothing on this site should be used as a substitute for the judgement of a qualified healthcare professional who can assess a patient directly. Nothing here is intended to support a decision about the care of a specific patient.
No clinician-patient relationship
Reading this site, revising with it, or corresponding with us does not create a clinician-patient relationship, a duty of care, or any professional advisory relationship between you and BodyAnswers or its contributors. Where a named clinician has reviewed a page for accuracy, that review is an editorial check of general content — it is not an act of clinical practice directed at any individual reader, and it does not make that clinician your doctor.
Emails sent to the editorial team are not confidential clinical correspondence and individual medical questions will not be answered. Please do not send personal health information.
Accuracy and limitation of liability
Substantial effort goes into accuracy: study material is written from primary literature and national clinical guidance, and the questions are derived from that same material rather than written separately. Even so, medical knowledge changes, guidance is revised, and errors happen. The content is provided as-is, without warranty that it is complete, current or free from error.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BodyAnswers accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from reliance on the content, from any interruption to the service, or from the content of external sites linked from it. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
If you believe something is wrong, please report it. Signed-in students have the “something missing?” form on every study page; anyone else can use the contact page.
Content and licensing
The study material, structure, illustrations and code of BodyAnswers are © 2026 BodyAnswers, all rights reserved. You are welcome to link to any public page, and to quote a short extract with clear attribution and a link back to the source page. Study modules are licensed for the personal revision of the account holding the licence: republishing them, sharing them outside your licence, or using them to train or fine-tune a model requires written permission.
Material quoted from third parties — guidelines, figures and study findings — remains the property of its publisher and is cited on the page where it appears.
3D anatomy models
The 3D geometry used in the anatomy explorer is derived from BodyParts3D (opens in a new tab), © The Database Center for Life Science, licensed under CC Attribution-ShareAlike 2.1 Japan. Meshes have been grouped, simplified and recoloured for the web. These models are a teaching aid, not a diagnostic tool — anatomy varies between individuals.
Because the licence is share-alike, anyone reusing these models or derivatives of them must credit The Database Center for Life Science and release their version under the same licence. That obligation runs with the geometry itself and is separate from the copyright in the rest of this site.
Acceptable use
Please do not attempt to disrupt the site or its infrastructure, scrape it at a volume that degrades service for other readers, or present its content as your own or as clinical advice you are qualified to give.
Changes and contact
These terms may be updated as the site develops; the current version is always the one published here. For licensing requests, permissions or any question about this page, email editorial@bodyanswers.example.com or see the contact page.
