| Teaching and learning anatomy, as a process, has changed. Fresh cadavers were once used as a tool for the student to approach the human body in order to overcome theoretical knowledge and gain applied expertise. Today, techniques such as corrosion casting are known to be a more effective way of achieving optimal results with the students. This paper examines a method to apply this technique to an organ using different polymers. The concentrations for acrylic, epoxy resin, polyester resin, and room temperature vulcanization (RTV) silicone are described, as well as the corresponding diameter of the duct to be injected with each one. A variety of specimens obtained using this technique, their qualities and characteristics are presented. The results of using... |

| In response to the arising difficulty of dissection use during anatomy courses, medical schools have been forced to research alternative teaching methods. These are meant to help students develop three dimensional mental images of the human body and increase spatial reasoning, thus improving the learning process of human morphology. One of those methods, used at the Universidad de los Andes is the Diaphanization process. This technique is a well-known method for specimen preservation, used as an anatomy research and teaching tool. Even though it is frequently used, finding a standardized protocol in indexed journals is not possible, which hinders the use of the technique. The standardization of an updated protocol is a need in order to continue exploiting... |
