Cadaver programs at the undergraduate level: student‐led dissection with a focus on exploring pathologies and anatomical variations

At Westminster College, an undergraduate institution, a cadaveric gross anatomical dissection was completed using the thirteenth edition of Grant's Dissector. The objectives of this dissection were to determine possible indicated health conditions, pathologies, and anatomical variations present in a single cadaver. Anatomical variations in the cadaver included renal, pelvic, coronary, porta hepatic, and transverse cervical vasculature, as well as variations of rib structure. In addition to anatomical variations, pathologies were studied by comparing findings to anatomical standards. Pathologies included pleural adhesion of the left lung, bronchopulmonary lymph nodes with anthracotic pigmentation, and calcification of the abdominal aorta. The analyses of pathologies were conducted to include histopathology of pulmonary, vascular, and cardiovascular tissue, as well as a calcium analysis of the abdominal aorta. These pathological test results assisted in confirming the indicated health condition of the cadaver. Overall, students gained an understanding and appreciation of standard human anatomy, pathologies, and anatomical variations through this exploration.
