The majority of cadavers are obtained through tissue banks. Individuals may still specify that a specific university receive their body.
Cadavers are usually embalmed, but some uses, there is a need for a cadaver to not be embalmed. These requests are usually made to the tissue banks.
The preparation of a cadaver is a meticulous process, which is why most universities do not accept donations directly.
The requirements for donating a body are fairly standard: death from natural causes and no transmittable diseases.
