• The word rpdover ' is derived from the Latin
’cadere meaning ’t‹› fall, referring to
soldiers who died in battle. Therefore, a
cadaver is a dead hum ii hnd j used in
scientific or medical research.
• The temi ’disse‹l is also &rived from Wtin
’dixivcare and means ‘re cut apart’ m ’in
separate into pieces’ .
• It refers to dismembering the body of a
&ceased animal, plant, m human to study its
atomical structure.
• Anatomical dissection is a time-honoured part
of ñiedical education dating back to tiret third
œntury BC in Greece. There was a dark
period in history when dissection was illegal
and offensive to the public. But through the
years the practice has gained acceptance
worldwide as an indispensable tool for
teaching arxl leaming medicine.
• In the 15th and l6th centuries AD, artists like
Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo would
watch live dissecti‹xis to get a three-
dimensional view of the human body which
they portrayed in their paintings.
