Bridging the Visual Gap in Physiology Education

An inclusive web resource for physiology images

EveryBody Physiology aims to change how physiology is taught by building an educational image library that represents the diversity of human bodies. Our goal is to create scientifically accurate illustrations that reflect differences in age, skin tone, body size, and physical  ability while maintaining clarity clarity and academic rigour. By doing so, we aim to support educators with inclusive, accessible, teaching resources and help students see themselves represented in the images they learn from. 

Scientifically Accurate 

Rooted in current physiological research and aligned with peer-reviewed evidence. Each image is designed to explain mechanism and function clearly, without distortion, oversimplification, or misleading visual shortcuts. We prioritize conceptual precision so that educators can teach with confidence and students can learn with clarity.
