Institute of Human Anatomy (IOHA) is an American privately owned human cadaver lab. The institution is located in Salt Lake City, UT, and has both a physical classroom and an education production studio.[2][3] It was founded by Jeremy Jones and Jonathan Bennion.[4][3]

Online presence

The Institute gained a substantial online following starting in November 2019, when they uploaded their first video to TikTok.[3] A 2019 video, with 1.6 million likes, clarified the location of the human stomach, while a 2021 video illustrating the bodily changes caused by pregnancy accumulated over 8 million views.[4] By November 2020, the account had 6 million followers.[5]

The founder, Jeremy Jones, has stressed the importance of respectful content presentation due to the wide viewership and use of real human cadavers.[4][5][6]

IOHA has 20 million subscribers and garnered over 900 million content views across various social media platforms.[7][8][9]
