The title explains my entire day (minus the four hours of class I had).
In anatomy lab today we dissected the Suboiccptial Triangle. It was actually fun! Our cadaver (Mr. Riggy as we named him) has GREAT muscle tone and not a lot of fat. We are pretty sure that we lifted weights or something well into his 80s because he has amazing muscles. It makes for a beautiful dissection. We had a perfectly formed triangle in the back of his neck with all blood vessles and nerves extremely visible. Definitely the best in the class (hahaha, or so we think!). We had about 30 other student come over to look at our amazing dissection skills- actually, no, it was to look at the well developed muscles of the neck.
The above picture is an example of what muscles we dissected / learned. On the right hand side there are three muscles that kind of outline a triangle. That's them! Now I realize that the textbooks don't really lie and that the anatomy described in it is really what the good Lord put into our bodies. How neat!
Now I am studying history of medicine. Oh man this is NOT FUN! But I am plugging away at it hopefully learning something.
Another quick update is on the way...
