Less extensive dissection of plants and smaller animals preserved in a formaldehyde solution is typically carried out or demonstrated in biology and natural science classes in middle school and high school, while extensive dissections of cadavers of adults and children, both fresh and preserved are carried out by medical students in

Dissektion betecknar sönderdelning av en organism (djur- eller människokropp eller växt) i vetenskapligt studiesyfte. Motsvarande verb är att dissekera. Ordet härleds från latinets dis- = itu, isär och secare = skära - alltså skära itu. Termen används även om en kirurgisk teknik som också innebär sönderdelning. Man skiljer på "skarp dissektion" med skarpa verktyg då man skär/klipper sönder vävnader alternativt "trubbig dissektion" med trubbigt verktyg eller kirurgens finger där man delar isär olika strukturer som endast är löst förbundna med varandra.
