Human Anatomy Atlas is a comprehensive 3D atlas of the human body that allows users to explore the human body

• Learn about the complete male and female gross anatomy with thousands of 3D models that span 11 systems: nervous, skeletal, circulatory, muscular, digestive, urinary, lymphatic, endocrine, and reproductive
•  Interact with every structure in 3D to simulate a dissection lab experience. Rotate, zoom in and out, dissect through superficial anatomy to study deep and hidden structures, or see structures in complete isolation
• Study detailed information, learn about common pathologies, and compare 3D models side-by-side with cadaver and diagnostic images
• Delve into the microanatomy of tissue and special organs, including the eye, ear, and tongue
• Test your knowledge with hundreds of dissection quizzes

Muscle Premium is a comprehensive reference of musculoskeletal structures and function, plus common injuries and conditions.

• 3D models of bones, ligaments, bursae, and skeletal muscles with blood supply and innervation, and origins and insertions
• Includes male and female musculoskeletal system
• See detailed information for each skeletal muscle: blood supply, innervation, attachments, and muscle actions
• Study the relationships among bursae, ligaments, muscle, and bone
• Interact with muscle actions like adduction, pronation, flexion, and more from various angles and zoom levels
• Watch video presentations by subject matter experts on topics such as rotator cuff tear, hip biomechanics, osteoarthritis, and more
• Review and teach about common musculoskeletal injuries and conditions (including cervical spondylosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, plantar fasciitis), and compare with normal anatomy

Physiology & Pathology is an interactive guide to core processes and common diseases of the human body

• Compare 3D models of normal anatomy to models of common diseases and conditions
• Set the heart rate and visualize conduction in a dissectable, beating 3D heart, and follow along on an ECG
• Watch animations that present the physiological processes of gas exchange, pulmonary ventilation, fluid balance, peristalsis, and more
• Walk through interactive lessons to understand the progression of atherosclerosis, kidney stones, lung cancer, and other common conditions
• Test your knowledge of various physiological processes and pathologies with quizzes
