ABSTRACT
Among the anatomical techniques developed to obtain dry material, the cryodehydration is an important procedure, since it is very helpful in pratical classes. By alternating freezing and thawing (FT) sctions, the cell destruction simplifies fluids release, obtaining material with some advantages such as: form keeping, loss of weight, no need for fixer (no mucosal irritation) and a low cost technique.

Nesta publicaçao descrevemos uma técnica de conservaçao de músculos, desidratados mediante a realizaçao de sessoes de congelamento e descongelamento. O material assim preparado pode ser aplicado no estudo de anatomia veterinária e humana, apresentando vantagem de fácil acondicionamento, grande perda de peso (em torno de 60 por cento) e grande durabilidade.
