Abstract

For the first time in the history of anatomy, the important French anatomist Jean Riolan, Jr., clarifies several conditions that anatomy adepts should accomplish during their preparation in his work Anthropographia. Anatomists should be physically, mentally, culturally, and ethically ready for their work. The anatomy teacher should consider three rules: have experience in anatomical dissection, have the essential knowledge and approach to dissection, and use a suitable teaching method.

Keywords: Anatomy; Dissection; Jean Riolan, Jr.; Learning anatomy; Prince of anatomists; Principles of basic learning.
