Overview of Anatomy and Physiology

Human anatomy is the scientific study of the body's structures. Some of these structures are very small and can only be observed and analyzed with the assistance of a microscope. Other larger structures can readily be seen, manipulated, measured, and weighed. The word "anatomy" comes from a Greek root that means "to cut apart." Human anatomy was first studied by observing the body's exterior and the wounds of soldiers and other injuries. Later, physicians were allowed to dissect the bodies of...

  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Digital technologies are increasingly integrated into anatomy education.
  • The current integration may not fully leverage the potential of these technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the concept of a
  • digital gap
  • in anatomy education.

Main Methods:

  • This is a viewpoint discussion.
  • It analyzes the multifaceted nature of the digital gap.

Main Results:

  • The digital gap encompasses more than just technology availability.
  • Disparities in perceptions, proficiency, confidence, and access create this gap.
  • Learners, educators, and institutions are all affected by these disparities.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing the digital gap is essential for effective implementation of digital anatomy.
  • Overcoming these disparities will allow digital anatomy to achieve its transformative potential.
