As fair warning, if you are squeamish or have trouble with human cadavers or dissecting them, don't watch.

Personally, I found it fascinating, and it gives a much better look than in textbooks, since you can see how everything is interconnected.

No. Gloves are mandatory.

 

 

 

That's what I figured......I take it those bodies have been preserved so sticking your hands in formaldehyde or whatever they used probably isn't intelligent. It's a carcinogen isn't it?

Formaldehyde is a good steriliser, but you're right, I wouldn't be washing my hands in it too frequently.

 

The bodies have probably been fixed in formaline, same as the bodies used by mecial students, but even so, gloves are mandatory.

I believe Formaldehyde poses carcinogenic threats as well
