Abstract

The study of anatomy in cadavers presupposes the use of appropriate conservation techniques that prevent putrefaction and guarantee the preservation of delicate structures such as blood vessels, glands and organs of the nervous system. Traditionally, these techniques include the use of formalin solution at concentrations of 4% and 10%, [1] as well as the use of more complex techniques such as the Kaiserling Method [2] or the use of glycerin, according to Le Prieur's, Laskowski’s and Giacomini’s protocols [3].
