he dissect dissections in animals (monkeys and pigs). Well known work came

Anatomy was the most prominent of the biological sciences of the 19th and
early 20th centuries.
Ancient greeks, treated the human body as sacred and refrained from
dissecting dead bodies (common people and the church also felt misgiving
about dissection)
In 1832, Britain passed the Anatomy Act, which allowed the dissection of
dead bodies for scientific pur
poses
Italy, the first country to commonly use dissection for scientific inquiry
(dissections were public occasions leading to the term theatre for the
observation area in surgery, not used for research but for teaching)
In 17th century and 18th century, only certified anatomists were allowed to
perform dissection to deal with the shortage of cadavers and the rising
number of medical students. In these era, body snatching and murder were
practiced to increase the number of cadavers available.
To save time and money, schools have gone to using pro sections (plastic
models) to teach anatomy.
