Anatomy theatre

Anatomy theatres are specialized, often historic, spaces used for teaching human anatomy through live demonstrations. They feature a dissecting table in the center, surrounded by tiered seating so students can observe dissection and anatomical structures directly. This setup allows educators to visually explain the body's internal systems, fostering hands-on learning. Historically, these theatres played a crucial role in medical education before modern classrooms and imaging technology. Today, modern anatomy labs may emulate this arrangement, emphasizing direct observation and interactive learning for students studying human biology and medicine.
