    Why people come here

    Heard a word you didn't understand?

    A diagnosis, a test result or a lecture can leave you with terms you can't picture. Human Atlas shows you where things are and what they do, so you can study better or ask better questions.

    Human Atlas explains anatomy and health. It does not diagnose or recommend treatment.

    Health topics

    Clear, sourced guides for every stage of life.

    Cancer

    Prostate cancer

    Apart from skin cancer, the most common cancer in American men. Many grow slowly; some don't. Here's what it is, who is at risk, and how the PSA decision works.

    Read the guide →
    Prostate

    Enlarged prostate (BPH)

    A non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that becomes common with age and can change how you urinate. It's treatable — and not cancer.

    Read the guide →
    Cancer

    Colorectal cancer

    Cancer of the colon or rectum. Screening from age 45 can find it early — or prevent it by removing polyps before they turn into cancer.

    Read the guide →
    Heart

    Heart disease and heart attack

    The leading cause of death for men in the US. Most of it comes from narrowed coronary arteries — and much of it can be prevented.

    Read the guide →
    Heart

    High blood pressure

    Half of US men have it, and most people feel nothing. A simple check finds it; habits and medicines control it.

    Read the guide →
    Metabolism

    Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes

    Blood sugar that stays too high. Millions have it without knowing — and prediabetes can often be stopped from progressing.

    Read the guide →
    Sexual health

    Erectile dysfunction (ED)

    Trouble getting or keeping an erection is common and treatable — and it can be an early clue to heart and blood-vessel problems worth checking.

    Read the guide →
    Hormones

    Low testosterone (hypogonadism)

    Testosterone falls only slowly with age. Real hypogonadism needs symptoms plus two low morning blood tests — and treatment isn't right for everyone.

    Read the guide →
    Cancer

    Testicular cancer

    A cancer of younger men — the average age at diagnosis is about 33. It's uncommon and usually very treatable. Know what's normal for you.

    Read the guide →
    Cancer

    Lung cancer

    By far the leading cause of cancer death in the US. Smoking causes most of it — and a yearly low-dose CT scan can find it early in people at high risk.

    Read the guide →
    Mind

    Depression and suicide prevention

    Depression is common, real and treatable. In men it can look like anger or irritability. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 now.

    Read the guide →
    Groin

    Inguinal (groin) hernia

    A bulge in the groin where tissue pushes through a weak spot in the belly wall. About 1 in 4 men get one in their lifetime.

    Welcome to Human Atlas

    An interactive 3D atlas with male and female reference bodies, built on open, scan-derived reference anatomy, with plain-English men's health guides (female guides are coming).

    Educational use only

    The owner of this website is not a doctor. Human Atlas provides educational anatomy information and does not diagnose, stage, or treat disease. Talk to a qualified clinician about anything concerning your own health. The 3D model shows one adult male reference body; real anatomy varies from person to person, and some structures are simplified or not modelled. In an emergency, call 911.
