anatomical clinical semiology
Anatomical clinical mentality is based upon the approach to
disease from anatomical injuries or alterations. The study
of injuries, in the post mortem body, stayed limited until
well into the 19th Century, to the observation of morphological
alterations visible to the naked eye, which were set in relation
to disease signals.
The concurrence of medicine and surgery was manifest in the
consolidation of this causal approach to disease. Surgical
dissection instruments in the Museum are a good example, as
well as instruments and observation techniques from dissection
rooms, such as simple microscopes, dissection oculars and
micrometers. The study of injuries and the pedagogical trait
of its registration are embodied at the Museum through a good
number of artificial anatomical preparations in different
materials.
