Abstract
Introduction
Plastination techniques no doubt it is as effective methods for preserving human tissue and enabling human body and specimens to be as anatomical models with much greater accuracy. Observe and experience human specimens in practical room settings should be beneficial to all medical and paramedical undergraduate and graduate students, to understanding the anatomical structures is critical to learning clinical and diagnosis skills.
Objective
To compare and evaluate between plastinated specimens methods, using a questionnaire to figure out its benefits and associated learning issues.
Methods
Undergraduate medical students (84 students) from Gastrointestinal (36 students), Musculoskeletal (21 students), Cardiovascular (27 students) Blocks are filled out the questionnaire after they completed their practical sessions and using cadaver and plastinated specimens.
Results
From the medical students view the plastinated specimens and models useful for developing clinical skills (90.6%), strengthening their concept of diagnostic testing used in clinical assessment (93.9%), and learning clinical Gross‐anatomy (96%), and 65% of them prefer it more than traditional prosection, and about 85% of the students suggesting that Plastination specimens with cadaver would be more effective useful.
Conclusions
Plastination of human specimens is a unique and effective approach that provides students with a learning experience. palpation skills, while using actual anatomical structures provides students with superior learning experiences and should be made more widely available in classroom settings.
