Abstract:

Objective：To investigate the methods of manufacturing integrated visual pathway specimens，and provide specimen making ideas for study of the visual pathway and light reflex pathway. Manufacture integrated visual pathway specimens as intuitive teaching aids for experimental teaching of human anatomy. Methods：Based on the previous experience，integrated visual pathway specimens were made from the base of skull by peeling tissues progressively. Results：Two integrated visual pathway specimens have been made. The eyes，optic nerves，optic chiasm，optic tracts，lateral geniculate bodies，optic radiation and visual cortex ware showed in the specimens. Conclusion：It is difficult to make the integrated visual pathway specimens，especially to display structures of visual pathway from the top of skull. The method of passing through the base of skull is the better way to display structures of integrated visual pathway.
