Abstract

 

Human Anatomy is one of the fundamental subjects in medical education, serving as the foundation for understanding the structure of the human body. It is essential for the formation of clinical thinking and practical skills among medical students. However, there are several challenges and outdated practices in the current teaching of anatomy that negatively impact both the quality of education and students’ preparedness for clinical practice.
