Bones & joints
Locate one named bone and compare its position with nearby bones. Use the joint group separately to inspect the available articular labels.

Study human anatomy, one structure at a time.
A reading edition for website translation. The interactive atlas offers separate male, female HRA and female CT references, with 4,331 catalog entries. Entry counts are not counts of distinct organs.

This page contains complete static reading content and does not require JavaScript or WebGL. Search, 3D interaction, saved collections and local notes are available on the original interactive atlas. Website translation does not synchronize that browser data. Translation availability and accuracy depend on the external provider; there is no claim that every human language is supported.

01 / FOUNDATIONS
Directions and planes
Left and right refer to the model's body. The separate female CT model retains its original raised-arm pose. Surface clipping is not a histological section.
| Term | Short recall aid |
|---|---|
| Anterior / Posterior | Front / Back |
| Superior / Inferior | Above / Below |
| Medial / Lateral | Toward / Away from midline |
| Proximal / Distal | Nearer / Farther from limb attachment |
| Superficial / Deep | Closer to / Farther from body surface |
| Sagittal | Plane separating left / right |
| Coronal / Frontal | Plane separating front / back |
| Transverse | Plane separating upper / lower |

02 / LEARNING PATHWAYS
Pair textbook reading with model observation
These eleven learning topics help organize a study session. The atlas catalog has fourteen combined dataset groups; the grouping is not a textbook count of organ systems. Group counts below describe loaded catalog data and may include overlapping source entries.
02 / 1112 dataset entries
Muscles
Choose a named muscle, inspect three views and record its relationship to adjacent structures. Verify attachment terminology in the source.
Read the textbook chapter · OpenStax ↗03 / 884 dataset entries
Nervous system
Select a brain or spinal structure and record its region, source label and neighboring structures. Check model coverage before comparing sources.
Read the textbook chapter · OpenStax ↗04 / 827 dataset entries
Heart & vessels
Find the heart and a named vessel. Follow only the branches represented in the source and retain the original vessel identifiers.
Read the textbook chapter · OpenStax ↗05 / 109 dataset entries
Respiratory system
Inspect an airway or lung entry from different views. Compare visible branching with the source record and note structures not represented.

Digestive system
Locate a stomach or intestinal entry. Describe its spatial relationship to nearby structures, then verify the terminology in a textbook.
Read the textbook chapter · OpenStax ↗07 / 68 dataset entries
Urinary system
Find a kidney and ureter entry. Record the model, side and source identifier; distinguish individual structures from grouped CT labels.
Read the textbook chapter · OpenStax ↗08 / 12 dataset entries
Endocrine system
Locate a represented gland. Pair spatial observation with textbook reading; geometry and display color do not demonstrate hormonal activity.

Lymphatic system
Choose a spleen or lymphatic entry. Record the level of detail available in that model and compare it with the source catalog.

Reproductive system
Choose the appropriate source model and inspect a represented reproductive structure. Record coverage gaps rather than substituting another source.

Skin & appendages
Inspect the available surface layer and underlying structures. Keep illustrative hair separate from anatomical source labels.

A 15-minute session
- Spend three minutes recalling directions and planes. Explain the difference between the three main planes without looking at the table.
- Spend seven minutes selecting three catalog entries and inspecting front, back and side views. Retain the model name, original labels and identifiers.
- Spend five minutes saving source records and writing an observation plus a question to verify. Check the question against a textbook or original dataset.
Observation record template
- Structure name, original identifier and source model.
- Viewpoint and visible neighboring structures.
- What was observed directly; what remains an interpretation.
- Question, source URL, access date and unresolved coverage gaps.
04 / RESEARCH WORKFLOW
Keep observations traceable
- Search the catalog by original English, Latin, identifier, available Vietnamese label or a supported common-term label.
- Filter by model and dataset group. Individual structures and grouped CT segmentations have different levels of detail.
- Save up to 100 source records on the original atlas. Compare two metadata records without inferring geometric or anatomical equivalence.
- Export filtered CSV results or citation text. Preserve source identifiers, provenance, licenses and model URLs.
- Back up notes, saved records and observed groups as JSON. Import validates and merges that backup; local notes do not synchronize across browsers.
Common-term language data
The lookup dictionary contains sixteen concepts with labels across 342 language codes and varieties in the captured Wikidata data. Coverage differs by concept and language. These are community search aids, not a complete translation of anatomical nomenclature.
05 / SOURCES & COVERAGE
Know what the models represent
Male data: 3,478 entries from Z-Anatomy / BodyParts3D via Anatria3D. Female HRA data: 817 entries. Separate female CT data: 36 grouped segmentation entries. Female HRA lacks whole-body musculature, skull/limb bones and peripheral nerves in this atlas. CT labels may combine multiple structures and are not separately named individual muscles or bones. The source bodies and poses are not merged.
Colored surface meshes do not represent all microscopic anatomy, anatomical variants or photographic tissue appearance. Vietnamese labels, community search labels and machine translations have not undergone specialist review.
