The separately credited original BodyParts3D attribution in the Z-Anatomy source refers to CC BY-SA 2.1 Japan; the Z-Anatomy adaptation is released as CC BY-SA 4.0. Original Human Atlas geometry and application credits remain in their existing files.

Modifications in this application: selected missing nervous structures; excluded annotations, existing duplicate anatomy and uncertain inner-ear derivatives; imported FBX world transforms; normalized axes and units; applied one reproducible anatomical landmark registration field; recomputed surface normals; packaged indexed triangles using lossless gzip. No nerve paths or endings were synthesized. The original mesh topology is retained.

Noncommercial inner-ear and kidney assets identified in upstream credits are not included. Cochlear, vestibular and CN VIII meshes are also excluded where their provenance could depend on those assets.

Geometry: ../geometry/z-nervous-*.bin and matching .gz files. Structure manifest: ../metadata/external-nervous.json. Reproducible registration: ../metadata/external-nervous-transform.json. These files are downloadable from this public website under the license above. The manifest documents exclusions and preferred renderer sources.

Medical scope: an anatomically registered educational reference model. Not every individual root, microscopic terminal or subject-specific variation is represented. Source parent hierarchy and verified muscle motor supply are distinct types of information; proximity does not establish innervation.
