Abstract

The application of plastination technique as a new resource in anatomical education of abdominal muscles is of importance in the era of dwindling of cadavers for Veterinary Medical Education in Egypt due to the high cost of animals. Raising the advocacy for using plastinates as adjunct to cadavers is needed to complement the learning and teaching of Veterinary anatomy. The objective of this research was to describe the method of developing plastinated specimens of the goat abdominal muscles for educational purposes. A better understanding of abdominal muscles anatomy is relevant to gynecology, surgery and internal medicine. We recommend that the use of plastinated specimens is an excellent method for teaching abdominal muscles of goat.
