Teaching, research and extension are pillars of Brazilian universities. The 'Anatomizing' project brought experiences to students from the Bachelor Degrees in Nursing from the Federal University of Piauí, in the city Floriano, state of Piauí, about the exchange of knowledge with elementary school students of a private school, through workshops for the construction and sharing of understands. Through the application of questionnaires it was possible to identify learning disabilities. The project made possible the realization of the workshops on some morphofunctional systems of the human body, with the demonstration of anatomical pieces in macro molds. This experience evidenced for both academics as students and teachers of elementary school that knowing the human body is important, especially from childhood to adulthood, since the processes that occur in these phases directly influence their lives. Therefore, the lack of knowledge is associated with vulnerabilizing factors in health.
