In the broad field of medical education, the combination of theory and practice is the key to train excellent medical students. As an important auxiliary tool in medical teaching, renal anatomical model plays an important role in teaching. So, can the model really help students transition from theoretical knowledge of kidney anatomy to practical operation?

First of all, from the perspective of theoretical knowledge, it provides students with an intuitive learning platform. As an important organ of human body, kidney has complex structure and diverse functions. In theoretical learning, students often need to construct a three-dimensional structure model of the kidney through a large number of text descriptions and two-dimensional images. However, this construction process is often abstract and elusive.

Secondly, from the perspective of practical operation, it provides students with a safe practice environment. In medical education, practical operation is an essential link. However, since the kidney is an important organ of the human body, it is obviously not practical to operate directly on it. The renal anatomy model provides students with a platform to simulate the operation of the kidney, allowing them to perform repeated dissection and observation exercises without damaging the real kidney. This exercise not only helps students improve their hands-on skills, but also allows them to deepen their understanding of the anatomy of the kidney in practice.

In addition, it has strong flexibility and scalability. With the continuous progress of medical technology and the emergence of new research results, the anatomical structure and function of the kidney are constantly updated and improved. The renal anatomical model can be updated and upgraded with these changes to adapt to the new teaching content and scientific research needs.

To sum up, it does play an important role in medical education to help students transition from theoretical knowledge of kidney anatomy to practical operation. It has become an indispensable tool in medical education because of its intuitiveness, safety and flexibility. However, we also need to recognize that the renal anatomy model is only one of the teaching tools, and it is not a complete substitute for real human anatomy and clinical practice. Therefore, in the teaching process, we also need to combine other teaching means and tools to cultivate students' medical literacy and practical ability more comprehensively.
