The role of the gastric anatomy model

The role of the gastric anatomy model lies in helping learners systematically understand the structure, location and physiological functions of the stomach. The stomach is an important organ in the human digestive system, responsible for storing and digesting food. Through the gastric anatomy model, students can directly observe the shape, size, curve of the stomach, as well as the structure of different parts such as the cardia, fundus, body and pylorus. They can also understand the hierarchical structure of the stomach wall and the distribution of blood vessels and nerves. This intuitive learning method is more effective in deepening understanding and memory than simple graph teaching.

In medical teaching and clinical training, gastric anatomy models are also used to demonstrate the positional relationships of gastroscopy, gastrectomy and related lesions, helping medical students master the anatomical basis of gastric diseases. Meanwhile, this model is also widely applied in the fields of nursing and health education, used to explain to patients the formation sites and impact ranges of common diseases such as gastric ulcers and gastric cancer. Through model teaching, learners can not only enhance their sense of space and anatomical recognition ability, but also improve the accuracy of clinical analysis and operation. Therefore, the gastric anatomical model is an important auxiliary tool for medical students to learn about the structure and disease mechanism of the digestive system.
