Human Anatomy Atlas

Human Anatomy Atlas is a 3D visualization and learning tool used to explore the systems of the human body. It contains more than 4,600 anatomical structures, including all major organs and systems.

  • Male and female 3D models, each with 4,600+ structures
  • Microanatomy 3D models, including eye, ear, skin, and tongue
  • 3D animated models of muscle actions and maps and pins that detail origin and insertion points for muscles
  • 3D models of bony landmarks with additional reference text that details features
