Introduction: the application of Information and Communications Technologies in the teaching-learning process is one of the lines Cuban Health System has drawn in medical-science students. Anatomy is one of the sciences integrating Morphophysiology discipline, and to facilitate its understanding the use of resources and strategies is necessary, among them educational software can be included. Objective: to design a piece of software based on the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system of head and neck for first-year dentistry students of Pinar del Río. Material and methods: a qualitative study was conducted where dialectical-materialist method was used to achieve the results. For the dialectics of its development process, theoretical-empirical methods along with in-depth study of the subject were considered, as well as type of platform to be used and criteria of specialists. Non-parametric descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were applied to process it. Results: due to the need of strengthening students’ skills in the use of information and communication technologies, a piece of software for teaching the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system of head and neck was designed: Learning Anatomy through images, videos and texts. Conclusions: a piece of software is a contribution to the teaching-learning process, which facilitates the independent and self-preparation work by means of the interaction with the content, feedback and evaluation using modern teaching aids, which responds to the acting approach of the future graduate.
