Abstract :

This paper describes an alternative method to study and teach the gross anatomy to undergraduate and postgraduate students using air-drying method. This study depend on the air-drying pump machine (compressor) to preserve the hallow organs of different animals by air-drying method, then the preserved hallow organs are injected by expanding foam into their lumen followed by varnishing their external surface to protect the preserved hallow organs from the insects damage. This method of preservation is suitable for development country as it is very cheaper in preparation, simple to perform, carried out at room temperature (37�°C-40�°C), not need special equipments to perform and the produced specimens have many advantages as the normal anatomical form is maintained durable, very light in its weight, not toxic in handling, resist the bad handling and the deterioration by fungi or bacteria and all structures very clear on the preserved organs and also the preserved specimen can live for many years without any changes.
