Anatomical specimens

Anatomical specimens are preserved parts of the body, such as organs, tissues, or whole organisms, used for medical education and research. These specimens help students and professionals study human or animal anatomy, understand how different systems work, and how diseases affect the body. They can be prepared through various methods, including embalming or dehydration, to maintain their structure for long-term observation. Anatomical specimens play a crucial role in advancing knowledge in medicine, biology, and science overall, providing tangible examples that enhance learning and understanding of the complex body systems.
