Introduction: Historically, the teaching of anatomy uses human cadavers. However, artificial pieces have been gaining ground in the teaching methodology. Objective: To analyze the students' perception regarding anatomy study using artificial anatomical models through a structured instrument. Method: Application of a structured questionnaire to 222 health areas students in two teaching institutions from Juiz de Fora-MG-Brazil. The students should have already taken the discipline of Anatomy. Data collection was carried out at the colleges, tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet, and proceeded with statistical analyses. Results: Students were mainly in the 18-19 age group (42%); they considered that artificial pieces facilitate learning (about 80%); they were confident about the use of anatomic knowledge in clinical practice (80%). Most of them (81%) said that learning with artificial models was excellent or good despite considering a large number of structures to be memorized as a difficulty (83%). Conclusion: Respondents used synthetic parts on a large scale and attributed a superb quality to teaching/learning using these materials. They believed, in general, in their excellent preparation for applying anatomical knowledge in professional life.
