Abstract
MUNETON GOMEZ, César Alfonso and ORTIZ, José Alejandro. Plastination: a Complementary Tool for the Development of the Teaching-Learning Process of Anatomy. Rev. Med. Vet. [online]. 2012, n.23, pp.111-117. ISSN 0122-9354.
The plastination technique is widely used to preserve anatomical specimens used in teaching. For this reason, a process of strengthening and developing on the area of anatomy has been carried out, which includes the development of anatomical structures that makes learning easy and complement the dissection of corpses, practice used as the primary teaching tool in the subject. To this end, various techniques have been used and modified based on the proposed protocols by Dr. von Hagens (1987), adapting them to the needs and possibilities, since the field lacks a plastination laboratory for a scheduled follow-up of this technique. The high cost of implementing a plastination laboratory and the plastinated specimens implies the development and acquisition of similar items at a lower cost, which in turn enables the participation of students in a creative learning environment where they learn by doing.
