When it comes to anatomy labs, non-medical students often feel a strong sense of mystery and even some fear. The reasons are twofold: curiosity about human anatomy and reverence for cadaver specimens. Medical school anatomy labs vary in size but share similarities, and with social progress, they have transformed from being messy to clean and bright, now resembling operating rooms more and more.
In the past, anatomy labs typically featured several immersion dissection tables, where cadavers were preserved in formaldehyde solution—also known as formalin. The most notable characteristic was the strong odor. Formaldehyde is now widely recognized as a major indoor pollutant in home renovations, but compared to the concentration in anatomy labs, it's like comparing a small witch to a great sorcerer. Due to its irreplaceable advantages in specimen preservation, formaldehyde has been the standard in anatomy labs for over 100 years. For anatomy teachers and medical students, formaldehyde brings tears to their eyes—literally, as the fumes leave them with streaming tears.
