Anatomy <lead needs written.>
Brain[[edit] | [edit source]]
A brain was the central area for thought in most sentient biological entities. All animals and humans had brains of some sort. (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs) It was a biological system made from brain cells (AUDIO: The Vengeance of Morbius) such as neurons (COMIC: Before the Storm) which came together to form the mind, a seat for consciousness, complete with memories and intention. (AUDIO: The Vengeance of Morbius)
Human brains[[edit] | [edit source]]
Dorothy McShane had her brain function checked when she underwent a full medical examination to be a passenger on the Virgil. (PROSE: At Childhood's End)
Human brain illnesses[[edit] | [edit source]]

Cybus-type Cybermen of the Cyber Legions determined that the Eleventh Doctor's brain was not compatible for cyber-conversion; as such, they intended to discard it whilst suggesting that other body parts could be of use. (TV: Closing Time) The Doctor claimed to have twenty-seven brains when chatting with Clara, although it was a lie. (TV: The Bells of Saint John) When the Cyberiad attempted to assimilate the Doctor, he managed to retain enough free will to keep just under half of his brain under his control, the Cyber-Planner calling itself Mr Clever controlling an equal amount of the brain. Using a hand pulse, the Doctor managed to purge the Cyber-Planner from his brain. (TV: Nightmare in Silver)
Non-human brains[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Kantrofarri fed on brain matter. (TV: Last Christmas)
Mordrega needed to consume human brains to survive. (AUDIO: The Ghosts of Gralstead)
Historians who had been allowed access to the "Monster Vaults" of the databanks in the Doctor's TARDIS observed that the heads of the Abzorbaloffs' absorbed victims remained alive and conscious within the Abzorbaloff's digestive tract and only when it had completely drained their brains were the heads fully assimilated into its "fleshy corpulence". (PROSE: The Monster Vault)
Manipulation of brains[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Fourth Doctor thought his nose was an improvement over that of his prior incarnation, but was unsure whether his ears were as well.

(TV: The Witch's Familiar)
Gallifreyan/Time Lord eyes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Gallifreyan eyes were noticeably different from human ones. While the human eye was just a dish of light-sensitive cells, leaving the brain to do all of the processing, the Time Lord retina was capable of thinking on its own. (PROSE: Seeing I) They could enhance available light, were thus better at seeing in the dark than human eyes; (PROSE: Lucifer Rising) they could also notice incredible amounts of detail from hundreds of yards away (TV: The Eleventh Hour) and see things beyond the human line of sight.

(PROSE: War Crimes) In an alternate timeline, the Eleventh Doctor was partially upgraded into the Cyberiad.

Non-human lungs[[edit] | [edit source]]
Instead of large lungs, Gallifreyans had a series of pulmonary tubes parallel to the lymphatic system. This made them buoyant, allowing them to swim with ease. (PROSE: Island of Death) They could also survive longer without much oxygen, past the point where a human would be unconscious. (TV: The Ark in Space, Smith and Jones, Mummy on the Orient Express, PROSE: Legacy)
