Hello, lovely cadavers~ this is my second blog, dedicated to anything and everything anatomical. Growing up, I was exposed to the medical/surgical field (my mother is a nurse) at a very early age, and have always had a profound interest in such. Here you will find anything from medical illustrations, human anatomy, surgeries, animal dissections, etc. None of the photos are mine. Enjoy, my lovelies. ❤

A Life-Size Intricately-Detailed Anatomical Model: Designed by the French Physician Dr. Louis Thomas Jerome Auzoux Crafted by Workshop of Louis Auzoux (1797-1880) This rare hand sculpted sculpture retains its original cast iron base.
Dr. Auzoux realized in 1822 during his medical training, that cadavers rapidly deteriorated and wax models were not readily available, hence there was a need in the field for anatomically correct models. The workshop of Louis Auzoux used an innovative papier-mâché method to cast anatomical figures for teaching purposes. (Reference: “Maine Antiques Digest,” June, 2012).
The internal body cavity and head open and, like the exterior they are meticulously labeled with Latin inscriptions on small strips of paper.

Did You Know: The brain itself cannot feel pain. While the brain might be the pain center when you cut your finger or burn yourself, the brain itself does not have pain receptors and cannot feel pain. That doesn’t mean your head can’t hurt. The brain is surrounded by loads of tissues, nerves and blood vessels that are plenty receptive to pain and can give you a pounding headache. Art by Helen Pynor
