ABSTRACT: Anatomy, as a fundamental discipline in medical education, plays a crucial role in enabling medical students to master human body structures, understand disease mechanisms, and guide clinical practice. The traditional model of anatomy education primarily relies on cadaver dissection, specimen observation, and classroom lectures, emphasizing systematic knowledge transfer and hands-on training. However, with the rapid advancement of information technology and the continuous evolution of medical education concepts, traditional anatomy education is facing new challenges and demands for transformation. The introduction of smart education has provided new opportunities for anatomy teaching, driving profound changes in teaching philosophies, methods, and models.
