Anatomy Tutorial - Fresh Cadaver Dissections | Atlas of Human Cardiac Anatomy

These educational anatomic videos provide a unique opportunity to visualize the internal anatomies of fresh human cadavers. Each fresh cadaver dissection video begins with a demonstration of the relative anatomical locations of the heart and other thoracic anatomical features and concludes by highlighting associated anatomical features and/or a previously placed device.

We would also like to thank the Lillehei Heart Institute and the Institute for Engineering in Medicine at the University of Minnesota as well as the James B. Linsmayer Foundation for providing funding support for this educational project.

These cadaveric donations were gifted to and provided by the University of Minnesota’s Anatomy Bequest Program. The acquisition and use of donor images were disclosed as part of the body donation consent process. Further the images contained within these published imaging were approved by the Anatomy Bequest Program. We greatly appreciate the generosity of the donors and their families for allowing for these amazing educational opportunities.
