William Hunter, a pioneering teacher of Anatomy in the the eighteenth century, championed the use of dissected specimens as aids in the teaching of anatomy. Although Hunter promoted the Paris method of learning Anatomy, by student dissection, he also used prosected material as an adjunct to his lectures. We are fortunate that Hunter bequeathed his extensive collection of over 3,000 museum specimens to the University of Glasgow, many of which are housed in the Laboratory of Human Anatomy in the Thomson Building. Regions such as the temporal bone are frequently difficult for students, and indeed postgraduate trainees in ear nose and throat surgery, to visualize and understand. Hunter overcame this difficulty by producing elegant specimens highlighting the three-dimensional complexity of the area. The current vignette stresses the importance of Hunter in his contemporary setting, but also demonstrates the potential of his approach for current and future teaching programmes in this age of the Internet.
威廉·亨特（William Hunter）是 18 世纪解剖学的先驱教师，他倡导使用解剖标本作为解剖学教学的辅助手段。尽管亨特推崇学生通过解剖来学习巴黎解剖学方法，但他也使用了经过处理的材料作为讲座的辅助手段。亨特将他的 3000 多个博物馆标本的广泛收藏遗赠给了格拉斯哥大学，其中许多标本都存放在汤姆森大楼的人体解剖学实验室。颞骨等区域常常让学生，甚至耳鼻喉外科的研究生难以想象和理解。亨特通过制作突出该区域三维复杂性的优雅标本来克服这一困难。当前的特写强调了亨特在他所处的时代的重要性，但也展示了他的方法在互联网时代对当前和未来教学计划的潜力。
