Abstract

Anatomy teaching has perhaps the longest history of any component of formalised medical education. In this article we briefly consider the history of dissection, but also review the neglected topic of the history of the use of living anatomy. The current debates about theadvantages and disadvantages of cadavers, prosectionversus dissection, and the use of living anatomy andradiology instead of cadavers are discussed. Future prospects are considered,along with some of the factors that might inhibit change.
