Preservation Methods
Preservation is one of the foundations of anatomical education. This section introduces preservation as a museum and stewardship topic, not as a technical preparation manual.
Preservation Methods
Plastination Overview
Plastination is often discussed in anatomical education because it creates dry preserved teaching objects that can be displayed outside fluid containers.

Resin Embedding
Resin embedding places small or delicate teaching materials inside a clear, durable medium. This can make objects easier to handle, store, and display in classroom settings.

Skeletal Collections
Skeletal collections are among the most durable forms of anatomical teaching material. Bones can support comparison across species, movement types, diets, and structural adaptations.

Wet Preservation
Wet preservation has played an important role in the history of anatomical and medical teaching collections. Fluid-filled containers made it possible to preserve delicate structures for repeated observation and comparison.
