A DISSECTION’S GUIDE TO HUMAN ABDOMINAL CAVITY

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show the abdominal cavity’s dissection method. In the summer of

2018 a group of students from the University of Palermo, who had already taken the anatomy exam

and had a good knowledge of English, went for a period of two weeks to do a dissection course at

the University of Malta. The students dissected skin, subcutaneously, muscle layers, parietal

peritoneum and abdominal organs. This work proves to be a small dissection guide for young

medical students who want to learn the main bases of dissection and important information for

topographical anatomy
