The bodies that are still crying in the world!
Cadavers have contributed to body science and medical students often use cadavers to study anatomy. Cadavers are often used to verify surgical techniques before moving on to living patients. While many schools have moved to using technology and surgical models to teach students, cadavers are still needed for hands on learning. Appendectomies, the removal of the appendix, are performed 28,000 times a year in the United State and are still practiced on human cadavers and not with technology simulations. Gross anatomy, a common course in medical school studying the visual structures of the body, gives students the opportunity to have a hands-on learning environment.
