Proceedings of the Association of American Anatomists XVII 



Bodies are embalmed with equal parts 95 per cent carbolic, 95 per 

 cent alcohol and glycerine, which hardens the solid and hollow viscera 

 ,, so that they retain the exact form and relations. 



Students make series of drawings showing the relations of the viscera 

 to each other and to the surface. They compare conditions found in 

 the body they dissect with the normal of the text-books and models. 



After completing the dissection of the thorax and abdomen, these are 

 studied in series of frozen sections. Each student is supplied with a set 

 of blue prints of the sections upon which he writes the names of the parts 

 as he identifies them.
