Figure 84 illustrates some essential equipment for the dissection
laboratory. The equipment should consist of a pump, No. 1, which forces
air through the rubber tube, No. 2, into the pressure tank, No. 4, which
is guarded by the valve at No. 3. A dial, No. 5, indicates the pressure
of the air within the tank. The air as needed is released through an
outlet valve. The air now passes through the rubber tube, No. 6, into
the left arm of the manometer at No. 7. The manometer is simply a glass
tubing filled with mercury to the point indicated at No. 7. By the side
of the opposite arm there is made a scale graduated in centimeters. The
tube at No. 9 being attached to the Y-tube, conveys air under the same
pressure into the injection chamber as that supporting the column of
mercury of the manometer. It is necessary to have a pinch cock, as
indicated at No. 11, to control the liquid within the tube. No. 12
illustrates the tube in the end of which, No. 13, there is inserted a
trocar which is introduced into the artery and tightly tied with a cord.

A convenient dissection tray may be made from galvanized iron. It should
be 16 inches square and about 1 inch deep (Fig. 84, No. 14).
A death chamber is made by using a bell jar 12 inches in diameter at the
bottom. This is used on a perfectly smooth board 16 inches square.
Through the center of this board is inserted a glass tube ⅜ inch in
diameter. To this glass tube is attached a rubber tube the other end of
which is attached to a gas jet.
The instruments needed in dissecting are illustrated in Fig. 84. No. 18
is a bone saw; No. 20 is a scalpel; No. 21 is a tenaculum; No. 22 is a
pair of forceps; No. 23 is a pair of straight scissors; and No. 24 is a
small pair of curved scissors.
