Abstract

Ceroplastic, the art of wax modelling, is a depiction mode that has been used widely throughout time for artistic, religious and social purposes. During the 16th Century, ceroplastic became also an essential tool for medical education thanks to the creation of the first anatomical wax models. For centuries, anatomists have worked with artists with the aim of producing faithful and long-lasting wax artefacts that reproduce physiological and/or pathological conditions. Important figures such as Ercole Lelli and Anna Morandi Manzolini refined the techniques of the anatomical wax modelling and created works that are to date preciously conserved. The scientific and didactic value of these works was indisputable, for wax anatomical models have deeply facilitated the education of medical students in that time. Nowadays, a similar impact on medical education is given by new technologies such as augmented reality, that allows the addition of virtual contents to tangible anatomical 3D models. Under this light, anatomical wax models and augmented reality can be compared as two innovative tools that have changed the history of anatomical teaching.

博洛尼亚的解剖学和塑料学校:一种意想不到的观点

蜡模是一种蜡模艺术，是一种在艺术、宗教和社会目的中广泛使用的描绘模式。在16世纪，由于创造了第一批解剖蜡模，蜡模也成为医学教育的重要工具。几个世纪以来，解剖学家一直与艺术家合作，目的是制作出忠实而持久的蜡制品，以再现生理和/或病理状况。埃尔科勒·莱利（Ercole Lelli）和安娜·莫兰迪·曼佐里尼（Anna Morandi Manzolini）等重要人物完善了蜡像解剖建模技术，创作了迄今为止保存完好的作品。这些作品的科学价值和教学价值是无可争辩的，因为蜡像解剖模型深深地促进了当时医学生的教育。如今，增强现实等新技术也对医学教育产生了类似的影响，它允许在有形的解剖3D模型中添加虚拟内容。在这种情况下，解剖蜡模型和增强现实可以被比作改变解剖教学历史的两种创新工具。

期刊介绍： The Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, founded in 1901 by Giulio Chiarugi, Anatomist at Florence University, is a peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the Italian Society of Anatomy and Embryology. The journal publishes original papers, invited review articles, historical article, commentaries, obituitary, and book reviews. Its main focus is to understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development and evolution. Priority will be given to studies of that clearly articulate their relevance to the anatomical community. Focal areas include: experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology and on the application of modern imaging techniques; comparative functional morphology; developmental biology; functional human anatomy; methodological innovations in anatomical research; significant advances in anatomical education. Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy are appropriate only if they communicate clearly a broader functional or evolutionary significance. All papers should be submitted in English and must be original works that are unpublished and not under consideration by another journal. An international Editorial Board and reviewers from the anatomical disciplines guarantee a rapid review of your paper within two to three weeks after submission.
