It was intended to confirm whether simultaneous examination of the surface and volume models contributes to learning the hand muscles. Outlines of the skin, muscles, and bones of the right hand were traced in sectioned images of a male cadaver to build surface models of the structures. After the outlines were filled with appointed colors, the color‐filled sectioned images were stacked to produce a volume model of the hand, which was gradually peeled from the skin. The surface models provided locational orientation of the extrinsic and intrinsic hand muscles, while the peeled volume model revealed the depth of the individual hand muscles. The characteristic appearances of the radial artery and the wrist joint were confirmed. Additionally, volume model of bones were remained unpeeled, while other structures were peeled. The exploration of volume model accompanied by equivalent surface models is synergistically helpful for understanding the morphological properties of hand structures.
