The 3D models and textures listed here come from open sources. Each one is shown with who made it, its licence, and what we changed so it runs well on a phone.

Bramlet, M.T., Cross, B.S. (2016). 17 yo Female, Normal Heart. Resource document. NIH 3D Print Exchange.
What we changed: The whole heart (ALM0006_Whole.stl): decimated to the triangle count given below, smooth normals, centred, millimetres to metres, then quantised and meshopt-compressed into a GLB.
The file we serve: bio-heart-whole.glb, 49,854 triangles in 1 part, 322 KB.

17 yo Female, Normal Heart (sliced sagittally), by slarochelle0769 (NIH 3D 3DPX-007207), a remix of Bramlet, M.T., Cross, B.S. (2016). 17 yo Female, Normal Heart. NIH 3D Print Exchange.
What we changed: The two halves (heart_pt1 and heart_pt2) kept as separate parts, heart_half_1 (the back) and heart_half_2 (the front), centred together; decimated to the triangle count given below, smooth normals, millimetres to metres, then quantised and meshopt-compressed into a GLB. The source has no separate chambers: the cut shows them.

What we changed: Every part kept as its own node by its atlas name (the lung segments, hila and intrapulmonary bronchi); parts over 2,500 triangles decimated, from 224,765 triangles in all to the count given below; vertex colours, tangents and UVs dropped; smooth normals; quantised and meshopt-compressed GLB. This version of the atlas lung has no trachea and no main bronchi: those are two separate files in the same body frame.

What we changed: The three parts kept as nodes (trachea, tracheal cartilage, carina); not decimated; tangents and UVs dropped; smooth normals; quantised and meshopt-compressed GLB. It ends at the carina, where the two main bronchi begin: they are a separate file in the same body frame, which joins it to the lung.

What we changed: The four parts kept as nodes by their atlas names (the left and right main bronchi and the cartilage of each); not decimated; tangents and UVs dropped; smooth normals; quantised and meshopt-compressed GLB. In the same body frame as the trachea and the lung: each main bronchus runs from the carina to its lung's lobar bronchi, so the three files make one airway.

What we changed: Each structure kept as a node named as the database names it: the diaphragm, the sternum (manubrium, body and xiphoid process joined), 24 ribs and 14 costal cartilages; parts over 2,500 triangles decimated to the triangle count given below in all; smooth normals; millimetres to metres, stood up in y, centred on the rib cage; quantised and meshopt-compressed GLB. No spine: the ribs end at the back where the vertebrae would be.

What we changed: The skin (FMA7163, one part) cut off at the hips, about 93 cm above the soles, so it keeps the head, the trunk and the upper arms, and no legs, hands or genitals: a see-through ghost around the organs. Then decimated to the triangle count given below; smooth normals; millimetres to metres, stood up in y and centred on the same point as the rib cage above, so the two fit together; quantised and meshopt-compressed GLB.
