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 […]
Lab 11, Station 3: Vessels of the PAW
Lab 11 navigation Abdominal Aorta Find these branches of the abdominal aorta: Unpaired visceral branches: ■Celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and inferior mesenteric artery Paired visceral branches: ■Middle suprarenal arteries (very difficult to find) ■Renal arteries ■Testicular/Ovarian arteries (long, thin, and fragile) Branches to body wall: ■Inferior phrenic arteries (to diaphragm) ■Lumbar arteries (lift the […]
Lab 11: Peritoneal Cavity and Overview of GI
Download this lab as a PDF Students: Unlike most lab sessions, which are dissection-based, this session is a “prosection lab.” Assemble in 5 groups, each with 16 students. There are 5 learning stations situated around the labs. Pick a station to start at. Groups will spend about 25 minutes at each station, rotating around the […]

Lab 11, Station 1: Viscera of the Abdominal Cavity
Lab 11 navigation Complete anatomy Abdominal viscera Organs of the Supracolic Region The liver is in the right upper quadrant. The sharp inferior border peeks out under the costal margin; reach under the diaphragm to feel the liver’s diaphragmatic surface. Lift the liver’s inferior border to see the gallbladder (yes, it should be green). Figure […]

Lab 00, Station 4: Male Perineum (Urogenital Triangle)
Lab 12 navigation Station 4: Male Perineum Complete anatomy Male perineum This station covers the male urogenital triangle. The anal triangle has a similar construction in both sexes—it is covered at Station 2. As in the female, the UG triangle contains: (1) the external genitalia and (2) two fascia-lined spaces: superficial and deep perineal pouches. […]
Lab 00, Station 3: Female Perineum (Urogenital Triangle)
Lab 12 navigation Station 3: Female Perineum Complete anatomy Female perineum Question Why is the perineal body a structurally important landmark? It is larger and clinically more important in females. This station covers the female urogenital (UG) triangle. The anal triangle has a similar construction in both sexes—it is covered at Station 2. The UG […]
