What is Dissection?
on
 Anatomy is one of the oldest
branches of science. Since
ancient Egypt, humans have been
DISSECTION dissecting their deceased to
understand how the human body
works and what happens during
the pathology of disease.
Today, dissections, or the act of
cutting open dead organisms to
study their parts, still play a role in
science and medicine.
 DISSECTION
Dissection (from Latin dissecare "to cut to pieces";
also called anatomization) is the dismembering of
the body of a deceased animal or plant to study its
anatomical structure. Autopsy is used in pathology
and forensic medicine to determine the cause of
death in humans.

 I.Purpose
Dissection is used to help to determine the cause of death in autopsy
(called necropsy in other animals) and is an intrinsic part of forensic
medicine. A key principle in the dissection of human cadavers is the
prevention of human disease to the dissector. It also helps students
learn about the internal structures of animals. Helps students learn
how the tissues and organs are interrelated. Gives students an
appreciation of the complexity of organisms in a hands-on learning
environment.
 I.Purpose
One reason frogs are often chosen to be dissected is that
their bodies provide a good overview of the organ systems of
a complex living thing.

 IV.CONDITIONS REQUIRED
The position statement further notes that NSTA recommends that science teachers adhere to specific safety-
related behaviors when performing dissection activities. Specifically, teachers should:

Use prepared specimens purchased from a reputable

and reliable scientific supply company. An acceptable
alternative source for fresh specimens (i.e., squid,
chicken wings) would be an FDA-inspected facility such
as a butcher shop, fish market, or supermarket. The use
of salvaged specimens does not reflect safe practice.
This statement is absolutely critical.
 IV.CONDITIONS REQUIRED
The position statement further notes that NSTA recommends that science teachers adhere to specific safety-
related behaviors when performing dissection activities. Specifically, teachers should:

Conduct laboratory and dissection activities in a clean

and organized workspace with care and laboratory
precision. Good housekeeping is necessary for safety.
With fresh specimens, a dirty work space can become a
breeding ground for pathogens.
 IV.CONDITIONS REQUIRED
The position statement further notes that NSTA recommends that science teachers adhere to specific safety-
related behaviors when performing dissection activities. Specifically, teachers should:

Use personal protective equipment (PPE), such as

gloves, chemical splash goggles, and aprons, all of which
should be available and used by students, teachers, and
visitors to the classroom.
 IV.CONDITIONS REQUIRED
The position statement further notes that NSTA recommends that science teachers adhere to specific safety-
related behaviors when performing dissection activities. Specifically, teachers should:

Ensure that the specimens are handled and disposed of

properly. The local or state health department may be of
assistance in this case. Minimally, any preservative
should be drained and disposed of as per directions on
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
 IV.CONDITIONS REQUIRED
The position statement further notes that NSTA recommends that science teachers adhere to specific safety-
related behaviors when performing dissection activities. Specifically, teachers should:

Ensure that sharp instruments, such as scissors,

scalpels, and other tools, are used safely and
appropriately.
 IV.CONDITIONS REQUIRED
Specific student safety rules for dissection are critical to a successful activity of this
type. The Regents Exam Prep Center has a very practical list of safety procedures for
students on their internet site. The rules are listed as follows:

Follow all instructions given by your teacher.

Inform your teacher of any illness as a result of exposure to chemicals used in
specimen preparation.
Avoid contact with preservative chemicals. Rinse the specimens completely
before dissection.
Know where the eyewash fountain is if needed.
Wear chemical-splash safety goggles to prevent the splashing of any
chemicals into the eyes.
Properly mount dissection specimens to dissecting pan. Do not dissect a
specimen while holding it.
 IV.CONDITIONS REQUIRED
Specific student safety rules for dissection are critical to a successful activity of this
type. The Regents Exam Prep Center has a very practical list of safety procedures for
students on their internet site. The rules are listed as follows:

Handle scalpels or razor blades (safety-edged) with extreme care.

Always cut away from your body and away from others.
Never ingest specimen parts.
Never remove specimens or specimen parts from the classroom—until the
dissection is completed all parts of the dissection must remain within the
dissecting pan.
Properly dispose of dissected materials.
Store specimens as directed by your teacher.
Clean up the work area and return all equipment to the proper place when
the dissection is completed.
Wash hands with soap and water after each dissection

RESULTS/OUTCOME

Cadaver - A cadaver is a dead body that is used by medical students, physicians
and other scientists to study anatomy, identify disease sites, determine causes of
death, and provide tissue to repair a defect in a living human being. Students in
medical school study and dissect cadavers as a part of their education

Formaldehyde - formaldehyde  is a simple chemical compound made of

hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. All life forms – bacteria, plants, fish, animals and
humans – naturally produce formaldehyde as part of cell metabolism.
