anatomical preservation
Anatomical preservation refers to the process of maintaining the structure and integrity of biological tissues or bodies after death or during study. It involves techniques like embalming, embalming, freezing, or chemical treatments that prevent decay and decomposition. This allows for detailed examination, education, or display without significant damage or loss of original features. Proper preservation maintains the natural form, texture, and appearance of tissues, enabling accurate study and understanding of anatomical structures in a way that closely resembles their original state.
