Abstract: This study outlines a standardized protocol for extracting and preparing bones from embalmed human cadavers for anatomical research. The process involves a meticulous sequence of soft tissue removal, maceration, boiling, bleaching, and degreasing. The efficacy of hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching agent and acetone for degreasing was evaluated. The study emphasizes the importance of proper handling and disposal of chemicals, as well as the ethical considerations surrounding the use of human cadavers. The resulting clean, white, and dry bones provide valuable resources for anatomical studies, contributing to advancements in medical education and research. Keywords: embalmed cadavers, bone preparation, maceration, bleaching, degreasing, anatomical studies
