cadavers are used in many different facets throughout the scientific community.  one important aspect of cadavers use for science is that they have provided science with a vast amount of information dealing with the anatomy of the human body. cadavers allowed scientists to investigate the human body on a deeper level which resulted in identification of certain body parts and organs.  two greek scientists, herophilus of chalcedon and erasistratus of ceos were the first to use cadavers in the third century b.c..  through the dissection of cadavers, herophilus made multiple discoveries concerning the anatomy of the human body, including the difference between the four ventricles within the brain, identification of seven pairs of cranial nerves, the difference between sensory and motor nerves, and the discovery of the cornea, retina and choroid coat within the eye.  herophilus also discovered the valves within a human heart while erasistratus identified their function by testing the irreversibility of the blood flow through the valves.  erasistratus also discovered and distinguished between many details within the veins and arteries of the human body.  herophilus later provides descriptions of the human liver, the pancreas, and the male and female reproductive systems due to the dissection of the human body. cadavers allowed herophilus to determine that the womb in which fetus’ grow and develop in is not bicameral. this goes against the original notion of the womb in which was thought to have two chambers; however, herophilus discovered the womb to only have one chamber.  herophilus also discovered the ovaries, the broad ligaments and the tubes within the female reproductive system.  during this time period, cadavers were one of the only ways to develop an understanding of the anatomy of the human body.

distinction between the eba and the fba has been clearly explained in the article "functional mri analysis of body and body part representations in the extrastriate and fusiform body areas" by john taylor, alison wiggett, and paul downing in 2007. the fba was found to be most responsive to the visual appearance of large body segments, but ideally the whole body. this was established through two experiments. the first used images of human body parts including human torsos without the head in neutral positions (positions that did not elicit an emotional reaction from participants), arms with hands and fingers, hands with fingers, and just fingers. the second experiment was similar to the first however it used tree stimuli that were similar to the human body parts, the stimuli were images of whole trees (representing the human body), branches with leaves (arm), clusters of leaves (hand), and individual leaves (fingers). the authors found that fba activation was steplike in response to torsos and larger body images (such as arms) relative to smaller body parts, although the response to smaller body parts was non-zero the response was significant when the whole torso was visible. this is in comparison to the findings for the eba which showed a linear pattern of activation, a gradual increase in activation as more of the body was visible. this is evidence that there is a functional distinction between the fba and the eba.
