	<abstract>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction:&lt;/strong&gt; Medical undergraduates usually understand and memorize anatomical course&amp;nbsp;material with difficulty. Also, the current text books and atlases of anatomy and histology do not&amp;nbsp;fulfill all the learning needs of the undergraduates. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the role&amp;nbsp;of internet websites and computer programs (i.e. the role of electronic learning) in teaching. The&amp;nbsp;present research aimed to introduce the new teaching facilities in the field of anatomical sciences to&amp;nbsp;improve learning among medical undergraduates and ameliorate the present teaching deficiencies.&amp;nbsp;The present research also aimed at facilitating the continual training of graduates and lecturers in&amp;nbsp;the anatomical sciences.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In this research, content analysis was conducted on 9 internet websites and 4 projects and&amp;nbsp;computer programs related to anatomical sciences on the basis of those introduced by the lecturers&amp;nbsp;of the anatomical sciences department of medicine faculty of Shahid Beheshti University of&amp;nbsp;Medical Sciences. This review was conducted on the basis of teaching processes and technologies&amp;nbsp;needed in electronic learning environment and also the necessary teaching facilities in learning of&lt;br&gt;
the anatomical sciences.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Having interactive programs, atlases and virtual tests, the capability of updating material&amp;nbsp;and continual education are some of the properties of electronic learning environments in the&amp;nbsp;teaching of anatomical sciences. According to this research, 100% of the investigated projects and&amp;nbsp;the computer programs and 44% of the websites, had interactive programs. Furthermore, 50% of&amp;nbsp;the projects and computer programs and 22% of websites had virtual updated atlases, and 22% of&lt;br&gt;
websites had virtual tests.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; By using the facilities in reliable educational sites of anatomical sciences and also&amp;nbsp;the interactive learning computer programs, difficulties in learning and understanding anatomical&amp;nbsp;sciences syllabus can be reduced and the level of knowledge in the field raised so that the way can&amp;nbsp;be paved for improving clinical skills in the areas of diagnosis and treatment. Besides, the use of&amp;nbsp;these technologies is effective in updating the knowledge of graduates and lecturers in the field of&amp;nbsp;anatomical sciences.&lt;/p&gt;</abstract>
