When donating body to science, which parts are used, for what,and how long will your body be kept before use?

Answer 1

I believe your brain is removed and kept for medical students specializing in neuro-science. all the rest is sent to cadaver labs. usually for one year at which time the parts are shipped back to the instiutution and cremated

Answer 2

Some are used promptly for studying techniques. Your body may be kept over a year (until the next medical school class starts and finishes anatomy). Some parts may be stored longer as part of a museum. I would suggest you contact a local medical school (preferably the one you would most like to assist) and discuss this matter. If you have specific wishes, they may be able to accommodate you.

Answer 3

It depends on what the donor specfies...
