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 […]

Lab 11, Station 5: Basic Imaging of the Abdomen
Lab 11 navigation Imaging For this station, an instructor will lead you through an orientation on how to approach viewing sectional planes in imaging. Examples will be given using abdominal scans in PACS. Open the PACS viewer and navigate to your donor CT. Select CT CHAP to open scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. Practice looking at […]
Lab 11, Station 4: Muscles and Nerves of the PAW
Lab 11 navigation Muscles of the PAW IDENTIFY these muscles of the PAW: ■Transversus abdominis ■Quadratus lumborum ■Psoas major ■Psoas minor (40% of folks don’t have one!) ■Iliacus For each muscle—describe attachments. The psoas major and iliacus muscles fuse below the inguinal ligament to form the iliopsoas muscle. EXAMINE the inferior surface of the diaphragm and […]
