Maria J. Torres-Palsa; José Dominguez – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
This descriptive report explores the implementation of the use of plastinated specimens in a Doctor of Physical Therapy human anatomy curriculum as an alternative to traditional body donor dissection. Plastination, a preservation technique developed in the 1970s, creates durable and flexible specimens that retain detailed anatomical features. The…

Duraes, Martha; Akkari, Mohamed; Jeandel, Clément; Moreno, Benjamin; Subsol, Gérard; Duflos, Claire; Captier, Guillaume – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
Increasing number of medical students and limited availability of cadavers have led to a reduction in anatomy teaching through human cadaveric dissection. These changes triggered the emergence of innovative teaching and learning strategies in order to maximize students learning of anatomy. An alternative approach to traditional dissection was…

Andrade, Eric Francelino; Zaine Teixeira Debortoli, Gabriele; Gomes Batista, Victor Luiz; Newton Bizetto Meira de Andrade, James; Orlando, Débora Ribeiro; Rocha Lobo-Junior, Adalfredo – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Learning the physiology of the cardiovascular system can be difficult for students, but the use of active teaching methodologies can help and enhance learning. To facilitate the understanding of how the cardiovascular system works, we built a functional model for Veterinary Medicine students attending a cardiovascular physiology lecture and…

Bogomolova, Katerina; Hierck, Beerend P.; van der Hage, Jos A.; Hovius, Steven E. R. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Visual-spatial abilities are considered a successful predictor in anatomy learning. Previous research suggest that visual-spatial abilities can be trained, and the magnitude of improvement can be affected by initial levels of spatial skills. This case-control study aimed to evaluate (1) the impact of an extra-curricular anatomy dissection course…

Fleagle, Timothy R.; Borcherding, Nicholas C.; Harris, Jennie; Hoffmann, Darren S. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2018
To improve student preparedness for anatomy laboratory dissection, the dental gross anatomy laboratory was transformed using flipped classroom pedagogy. Instead of spending class time explaining the procedures and anatomical structures for each laboratory, students were provided online materials to prepare for laboratory on their own. Eliminating…

Clemente, F. Richard; Fabrizio, Philip A.; Shumaker, Michael – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2009
The knee is one of the most frequently injured joints of the human body with injuries affecting the general population and the athletic population of many age groups. Dissection procedures for the knee joint typically do not allow unobstructed visualization of the anterior cruciate or posterior cruciate ligaments without sacrificing the collateral…

Petersson, Helge; Sinkvist, David; Wang, Chunliang; Smedby, Orjan – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2009
Despite a long tradition, conventional anatomy education based on dissection is declining. This study tested a new virtual reality (VR) technique for anatomy learning based on virtual contrast injection. The aim was to assess whether students value this new three-dimensional (3D) visualization method as a learning tool and what value they gain…
