Body Worlds

[Falcon]

Body Worlds (German (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/German+language) title: Kцrperwelten) is a traveling exhibition of preserved human (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/human) bodies and body parts that are prepared using a technique called plastination (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/plastination) to reveal inner anatomical (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/anatomy) structures. The exhibition's developer and promoter is a German anatomist named Gunther von Hagens (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/Gunther+von+Hagens), who invented the plastination technique in the late 1970s. The exhibition, first presented in Tokyo (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/Tokyo) in 1995 (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/1995), has been shown in many cities in Europe and Asia. A second exhibition, along similar lines but with different exhibits, called Body Worlds 2 opened in 2005. A third exhibition, Body Worlds 3, opened on February 25, 2006, at The Houston Museum of Natural Science (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/Houston+Museum+of+Natural+Science). More than 20 million people have seen one of the Body Worlds exhibits, which together have taken in $200 million.[1] (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/Body+Worlds#endnote_rf-1)

The exhibit states that its purpose and mission is the education of laymen about the human body, leading to better health awareness. All of the human plastinates are willing donors.[2] (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/Body+Worlds#endnote_rf-2) The original Body Worlds exhibit consisted of about 25 full body plastinates with expanded or selective organs (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/organ+%28biology%29) shown in positions that enhanced the role of certain systems. Cased in glass amid the upright bodies are more than 200 specimens showing an array of real human bodies, organs, and organ systems, some having various medical conditions. For example, there are bodies with prosthetics (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/prosthesis) such as artificial hip (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/hip+replacement) joints (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/joint) or heart valves (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/heart+valve); a liver (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/liver) with cirrhosis (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/cirrhosis); and the lungs (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/lung) of a smoker (http://encyclopedia.tfd.com/tobacco+smoking) and non-smoker placed side by side.

Пару лет назад преподавала анатомию и гистологию в институте. Так что строение организма знаю на отлично. Особенно увлеклась нервной системой, но как известно наука в стране в упадке. Мучила своих студентов вопросами о желудочках мозга и о среднем мозге. Было интересно и даже забавно так как многие студенты были старше.:)
Falcon, Вы тоже из медицинского?

My students went to see the exhibition, they were amazed. Recommended.

Once in a lifetime opportunity both for medical and non medical students to see human body inside out. The exhibition is very educational, and people from ages 7 to 70 go and lovve it. It just shows how indeed our body is complicated. Exhibition is available in big cities as NYC, San Diego, Pittsburg... there were sucess stories as smokers becoming non smokers and alcoholics becmoing non alcoholic seeing that huge liver and black lung.
