The only hit for the Spanish word is an English dictionary entry for 'prosector'. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prosector Here's part of the Wikipedia entry for that word: A prosector is a person with the special task of preparing a dissection for demonstration, usually in medical schools or hospitals.... The act of prosecting differs from that of dissecting. A prosection is a professionally prepared dissection prepared by a prosector – a person who is well versed in anatomy and who therefore prepares a specimen so that others may study and learn anatomy from it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosector I don't know why they used prosectoría rather than prosección, which is the normal Spanish word. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosector |
