Abstract
The opportunity to dissect in a cadaver lab is a profound educational experience that allows students to have insights into the human body in a way no textbook can provide. It builds both technical skills and anatomical knowledge while creating a deep appreciation for the donors who make this type of learning possible. While textbooks and anatomy atlases provide a solid foundation, they often present idealized versions of the human body and rely heavily on dense text, making it challenging for dissectors to navigate structures effectively in the moment. The "Illustrated Dissector’s Manual" aims to bridge this gap by offering a comic strip-style guide that visually demonstrates the best cuts to highlight key anatomical features. Each illustration is drawn directly from donors and cross-referenced with "Complete Anatomy" to ensure accuracy. Our goal is to eventually publish a comprehensive "Illustrated Dissector’s Manual" to further support medical education.

This illustration provides a view of the second rib cut procedure using bone shears. The image demonstrates the technique for cutting through the second rib while ensuring the preservation of the surrounding anatomical structures, including vasculature. This step follows the cutting of lower ribs and precedes the first rib cut.
