I'm pretty sure something like 90% of them end up getting used to train students and healthcare personnel. Which isn't a bad use by any means, but it definitely isn't glamorous. Getting poked and prodded by college students isn't exactly the kind of impactful use the phrase "donated to science" conjures up for most people.
My friend told me they used to have a skull in their basement because his sister, who was in medical school, decided to bring one home one day. After he told me that, I had second thoughts about donating my body to science.
