Since yesterday was our first Basic Anatomy & Physiology lab session, our lecturer decided to bring us to the anatomy museum, located at the first floor of the university.

First of all I learnt that there are two kinds of specimen : dry and wet.

It doesn't really look like a general "museum" actually, it's more to a lab full with human body.. Yeah I said it..

Once we enter the anatomy museum, the assistant let us observe some dry specimen of human body parts, together with the dry specimen of the whole human body! At the first glance, I really thought it was just another very detailed human dummy. He later explained how they prepared it and I was told that it remains as long as it is being kept well - the one in the museum has been standing there for 5 years!

Observing the wet specimen was very interesting to me since that was my very first time seeing it in real. Kidneys, human half body sections, and he even showed us how to prepare the "human body"! The smell was fine to me, since I expected the smell of formalin, so alhamdulillah there was no other smell when we visited yesterday.

I pray for their well-being and I'm thankful for letting us learn using their treasure ; a perfect body gifted by Allah.
