Lab 17, Station 4: Blood Vessels
Lab 17 navigation Station 4: Blood Vessels Major Arteries Common carotid artery Carotid bifurcation Carotid body—vascular structure that lies in the “crotch” of the carotid bifurcation—contains chemoreceptors that monitor the status of blood gases (may not be visible in prosection) Internal carotid artery Carotid sinus—a swelling of the proximal internal carotid artery—contains baroreceptors that monitor […]
Lab 17, Station 3: Gross Topography of the Brain
Lab 17 navigation Station 3: Gross Topography of Brain Cerebrum Composed of left and right hemispheres. The hemispheres are connected across the midline by a thick tract of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. Each hemisphere contains a cavity called a lateral ventricle—filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
Lab 17, Station 2: Cranial Base and Cranial Nerves
Lab 17 navigation Station 2: Cranial Base and Cranial Nerves The cranial cavity is the space within the neurocranium. It contains the brain, meninges, blood vessels, and the proximal parts of the cranial nerves. The floor is the cranial base. Foramina in the cranial base transmit cranial nerves and blood vessels. The cranial base has […]
Lab 17, Station 1: The Skull
Lab 17 navigation Station 1: The Skull The skull is divided into two parts: Neurocranium and Viscerocranium. Neurocranium (“brain case”) = Frontal bone, ethmoid, sphenoid, occipital bone, temporal bones (2), and parietal bones (2) The neurocranium has a roof called the calvaria (“skull cap”). Fibrous joints called sutures join the bones. The largest sutures are […]

ECG Shorts
You said, and we did! Past students provided us with feedback that we need to update our resources for ECGs and arrhythmias, and after many hours of labor, we are pleased to present you with the ECG Shorts video series. This series will take the student through a rapid progression of highly relevant material, beginning […]
