A brief summary of the history of anatomy is presented with particular focus on important scientists who contributed significantly to the development of anatomical education and recognition of anatomy as a discipline of science. An attempt has been made to review the history of preservation of human cadavers from earliest mummification methodology used by ancient Egyptians to the most modern technique of embalming and plastination of human cadavers, developed by Von Hagens during the period from 1979 to 1987. The need for use of modern teaching aids for instruction of topographic anatomy is also highlighted.
本文简要介绍了解剖学的历史，特别关注了对解剖学教育发展以及解剖学作为一门科学学科的认可做出重大贡献的重要科学家。本文还尝试回顾了人类尸体保存的历史，从古代埃及人最早使用的木乃伊制作方法，到1979年至1987年间冯·哈根斯开发的最现代的人体尸体防腐和塑化技术。文中还强调了使用现代教学辅助工具进行局部解剖学教学的必要性。
