Coloured plasticine was used for making 3D anatomical and embryological plates with the aim of presenting an alternative method in teaching veterinary anatomy. Many selected anatomical illustrations representing muscles of the thoracic and pelvic limb of the horse, head muscles of the horse, ox, sheep and camel, some embryology diagrams including sperm structure, types of ova and cleavage were ...

In intramedullary tibial nailing, multi-planar locking makes stabilization of proximal and distal metaphyseal fractures possible. A known complication in intramedullary nailing of the tibia is iatrogenic injury to neuro-vascular structures caused by the insertion of locking screws. As shown in previous studies, the distal positioning of the nail is important, as it determines the course of the ...

Hands-on dissections of animals are traditionally regarded as an essential part biology education. Nowadays, regardless the reported educational benefits, there is a gradual change in concept and acceptance hands-on dissection, leading many cases to its abandonment schools replacement with alternatives such 3D models, figurines, plastination computer-based alternatives. However, position dissec...

With recent developments in echocardiography, most operators need to be familiar with cross-sectional cardiac anatomy. However, the precise spatial relationships of the components of the heart can be difficult to understand. Plastination has been known as an excellent technique that helps to keep anatomical specimens in a dry, firm, shape-preserved condition. In this paper, the method of produc...
