A Study of Tracheobronchial Tree Using Luminal Cast Plastination
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Fresh and well preserved specimens are a must in anatomy teaching. Plastination has emerged as a ray of hope for near ideal preservation of biological specimens. The study was conducted using fresh specimen of trachea and lungs of sheep obtained from the slaughter house to study the tracheobronchial tree using luminal plastination. On examination the plastinated specimen of sheep tracheobronchial tree shows trachea with its cartilaginous markings, division of trachea into principle bronchi, lobar bronchi, segmental bronchi upto the alveoli.Theplastinated specimen was near ideal and are excellent for teaching gross anatomy, neuroanatomy and radiology. Hence,these specimens can be used as a better teaching aid in schools, colleges and research institutes.
