One of the main goals of applied morphology is to make the teaching of normal anatomy visual. Natural preparations of organs and body parts of an animal should be demonstrative enough and retain their shape and appearance for a long time. Compared to others, the method that we have developed for the manufacture of anatomical preparations has significant advantages, and in such a quality that makes it possible to study the object not only visually, but also manually. At the same time, soft anatomical preparations made in this way are biologically and toxicically safe. Preservation of organs and tissues of animal corpses is a necessary part of the work of anatomists and pathologists with the obligatory use of these preparations in the educational process, including for independent work of students. The method that we have optimized for the manufacture of wet pathological specimens, which have high visibility, close to the natural color and shape of eviscerated organs and tissues, while being stored longer.
