Most tools used for anatomy teaching are textbooks, dissections and prosections of cadavers.
To gain an in depth understanding of anatomy, there is no substitution for hands-on experience of cadavers however, access to cadavers can be problematic.
Current educational tools have a number of shortcomings
Human Cadavers

Costs

Ethical issues
