Cadaver dissection is the process of examining the human body by carefully cutting and separating tissues. It’s a vital part of medical education, allowing students to learn about human anatomy in a hands-on way. Dissections are performed in a lab setting by a qualified instructor.

The process typically involves the following steps:

1. Preparation: The cadaver is obtained from donors who have willed their bodies to science. The bodies are treated with preservatives to slow decomposition.
2. Dissection: The Instructor and (perhaps students) will wear gloves, gowns, and eye protection to protect themselves from biohazards. Using scalpels and other dissecting tools, they will carefully make incisions to expose different parts of the body, such as the muscles, bones, organs, and blood vessels.
3. Observation and Identification: As they dissect, the Instructor will identify different anatomical structures and learn about their relationships to each other. Instructors will be present to answer any questions students may have.
4. Clean-up: After the dissection is complete, the Instructor will carefully clean and wrap the cadaver for proper storage.

Dissection is a solemn and respectful procedure. Medical students view it as a privilege to learn from the bodies of those who have donated themselves to science. The experience can be profound and can help students to develop a deep appreciation for the human body.

While some medical schools are incorporating more virtual reality (VR) simulations into their curriculum, cadaver dissection remains an irreplaceable part of medical education for many institutions.
