The objective of this research is to explain how Body Paint favors the argumentation of the anatomical structures of the human body in the students of the Morphology and Function course of the Obstetrics career at a Private University of Lima, period 2020-I. the participants that constituted the sample of the present study were 15 students of the 2nd cycle of the Morphology and Function I course. The methodology used developed a qualitative approach, descriptive - explanatory scope and phenomenological design. For the collection of information, interviews and an observation guide were applied to the students applying Body Paint. The results reveal that students easily apply the Body Paint technique, they find it very practical, it does not take much time, but above all it helps to understand anatomy and physiology in a playful, colorful and simple way. By having the experience of representing the anatomical pieces, the process is more significant and experiential learning consolidates knowledge, allowing students to argue the integration of systems and devices of the human body. The study concludes that the Body Paint technique is a simple to apply and functional learning resource, which favors the argumentation of the integration of systems and devices of the human body as a learning achievement through the understanding and explanation of the anatomy, the study of form, physiology and the study of function.
