A side effect to this rampant plagiarism is that it allowed for rapid dissemination of information to a wider readership, reinforcing the revolutionary shift in the study of modern human anatomy. From the Renaissance to today, the tools of anatomical illustration have improved exponentially as we would come to be more familiar with the technologies of lithography, photography, x-ray imaging, and even digital imaging, providing a deeper understanding of the human body.
Between the 3rd century AD and the 13th century AD, the western study of anatomy remained focused on Galenic texts and theories. Human cadaveric dissection was prohibited during this period. Anatomical illustration had not been established until the Late Middle Ages and even then, the earliest illustrative representations were still based on Galenic writings and often inaccurate as a result. By the turn of the 14th century, there was a growing movement within the medical community to challenge this traditional approach to medicine as well as anatomy.
In the beginning, northern Italy was known as the center of this medical renaissance. Human dissection made its return in the latter half of the 13th century, initially with forensic postmortem examinations for legal purposes and subsequently with the first public dissection at a prestigious Bologna medical school around AD.
The larger medical community still supported the Galenic approach to anatomy, which limited its study to a solely academic framework rather than a clinical practice. Galenic traditions remained strong up until the 16th century AD. Attempts to present the inaccuracies in Galenic theories and texts were dismissed as anatomical deformities in the dissected human body, instead of flaws in western anatomical knowledge traditions at that time.
While many anatomists of the European Renaissance would continue to challenge these traditions over the following centuries, Andreas Vesalius would become historically known as the leading figure to establish the practice of human anatomy as a legitimate medical science.
Sometimes regarded as the founder of modern anatomy, Vesalius was originally a student of Galenic teachings before challenging the current limitations of anatomical knowledge. Attending public dissections, Vesalius had also actively stole and examined bodies from mass graves of the unclaimed dead as well as executed prisoners from the gallows. After becoming a lecturer at the famous University of Padua, he performed his first human cadaveric dissections.
He transformed the role of the anatomy teacher as both a demonstrator and a dissector. An avid supporter and contributor to anatomical illustration, Vesalius achieved global fame and notoriety in with his anatomy text, De humani corporis fabrica On the Fabric of the Human Body.
The Fabrica revolutionized western anatomical knowledge, critically evaluating the accuracy and value of Galenic teachings. The text was also transformative for its collaboration among Vesalius as the author, the artists, the woodblock cutters, and the publishing staff to produce this in-depth work of scientific discourse and illustration which had not been accomplished before.
From the times of ancient Egypt and Greece to the 19th century Western world, anatomists had depended on the bodies of executed people, bodies acquired through grave robbing, unclaimed deceased in poorhouses and hospitals, murder victims, and suicides as their main sources of research. As the study of human anatomy became a legitimate and prevalent science during the Renaissance, the demand grew for legalization of dissection and perhaps more importantly, a legal source of human bodies.
At this point in history, bodies of the executed became the legal primary source for anatomical dissection. Bodies of the executed were considered prime research material because they were often young and healthy, and the details of death were documented.
Public dissections were increasingly commonplace during the Renaissance, and general audiences perceived dissection as a great dishonor; a violation on the dissected which made their bodies unfit for a funeral. In the centuries that followed the Renaissance, governments would use this public perception as a crime deterrent. Governments would legislate anatomical dissection as part of capital punishment. The line between dissection being a medical practice versus a retributive practice blurred.
Horrific examples would emerge during the mass executions and dissections in Nazi Germany and in the Soviet Union. While contemporary use of bodies of the executed has greatly decreased as a result of abolition movements against capital punishment and the creation of body donation programs, there continued to be documented cases of using such bodies for anatomical research, including the United States and China. Your feedback is highly valued as it will help to improve the Library's future exhibits and other digital collections.

The Brighton and Sussex University Anatomy Laboratory Suite was refurbished in and now holds both a Human Tissue Authority Anatomy Licence and a Public Display Licence, so that quality teaching and training sessions can be held for students and professionals alike.
The facilities include three state-of-the-art dissection rooms, which can accommodate a total of learners and are located in the Medical School on Falmer Campus. We can provide a range of specimens for courses including: cadaveric full body and prosections. We use a range of techniques, including fresh frozen, soft fix and traditional fix, to suit your needs.
Our dissection rooms are also set up with the latest large screens and video streaming and operating theatre lights to aid learning. With our full time, dedicated staff, we can help to individually tailor your course to your leaning outcomes, and can lead or support sessions and teaching. Additionally, we have a team of anatomy demonstrators who can offer their assistance if required.
If you are interested in using our facilities to explore new surgical techniques or to improve student learning then please follow the link below to provide us with your details and we will contact you shortly. All use of the facilities is subject to a charge. Full draft costings are always provided prior to hire agreement.
We expect all demonstrators to be enthusiastic teachers, good communicators, have excellent interpersonal skills and possess the ability to effectively and cooperatively work within a team.
