About

🧠 The Institute of Human Anatomy ("IOHA") is a private human cadaver laboratory that educates health, fitness, and medical professionals on human anatomy and physiology using real human cadavers. 🏫 IOHA was founded in 2012 by Jeremy Jones and Jonathan Bennion, two brothers-in-law with a passion for helping people. Jeremy is an entrepreneur, and Jonathan is a licensed and actively practicing P.A. in urgent care with over 17 years of experience teaching anatomy and physiology. 🌍 Our mission is to help people live longer, healthier, better lives by teaching as many people as possible about the anatomical wonders of the one thing we all have in common: our amazing bodies!

Using cadaver dissections, we explore the journey of a body donation to the anatomy lab, including the donation process, preservation methods like embalming, and how the bodies are transported. We'll also reveal the tools and techniques used in dissection and address the common question of whether it takes a "weird crazy Dexter-like person" to work in a cadaver lab. ---- Table of Contents: 0:00 - Intro 1:13 - Body Donation Process: Common Grave vs. Return to Family 3:32 - Cadavers in the Lab: Preservation and Storage 4:24 - Embalming Process: Fluid Injection and Drainage 7:19 - How We Got Our First Donated Cadaver 9:48 - Cadaver Preparation and Preservation: Wrapping and Storage 10:24 - The Art of Dissection: Tools and Techniques 12:41 - Preparing Skeletons: Removing Soft Tissues 14:25 - Who Works in a Cadaver Lab? 16:40 - The Gift of Body Donation, Thanks for Watching! ----- #anatomylab #CadaverDissection #anatomyeducation #scienceeducation #bodydonation ---- Music: bensound.com License code: IG7BHEA336BYV9QT --- Common Questions: How do bodies end up in an anatomy lab?
