In an attempt to explore the innovative ways to introduce the knowledge of the human body in terms of its structures and functions, we have first time introduced three dimensional (3D) virtual human cadaver, Anatomage in our human anatomy classes, and discuss whether the use of Anatomage enhances the understanding/knowledge of the human body as determined by their class average with or without using anatomage. We have observed that the use of Anatomage in their teaching significantly increase their class average. Moreover, we also discuss the limitations and advantages of Anatomage as an effective teaching tool to teach human anatomy.
