Neuroanatomy lab introduction

Hi Steve! This list below is copied directly from the last anatomy prosection lab. We can edit it (and the rest of the intro page) however you’d like. Students: This lab will include 2 parts: Half of the time will be spent rotating through prosection stations, and the other half perfoming a pelvic hemisection in […]

New—Lab 4. Meninges and ventricles

Neuroanatomy lab navigation Meninges See Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2. Pia mater Arachnoid mater Dura mater Falx cerebri: Separating the cerebral hemispheres Tentorium cerebelli: The tentorium cerebelli separates the cranial cavity into two compartment (Figure 4.1), and there is also a prominent tentorial notch that allows for passage of the brainstem The supratentorial compartment contains […]

New—Lab 5: Blood supply and circulation

Neuroanatomy lab navigation Arterial blood supply Review from FMS 501 Vertebral arteries Supplying the brainstem and cerebellum Anterior and posterior spinal Posterior inferior cerebellar Basilar (unpaired)—multiple pontine branches also come directly off the basilar artery Anterior inferior cerebellar Superior cerebellar Posterior cerebral posterior communicating Internal carotid Supplying the midbrain, thalamus, hypothalamus, and cerebrum Middle cerebral […]

New—Lab 2. Diencephalon

Neuroanatomy lab navigation link to limbic materials if possible insert checkboxes from 2027 lab 17, station 3 where possible Identify the structures of the diencephalon. Thalamus The thalamus is key structure that relays information to the cortex associated with motor and sensory information.  There are also thalamus nuclei that form the connections in the memory […]

New—Lab 1. Cerebrum, sulci, and gyri

Neuroanatomy lab navigation Steve: The scalpel icon below is an example of how we indicate exactly what the students should be doing in their dissection. I know this will be more like a prosection, but if there are specific actions that students should take, this would be a good way to indicate it. It also […]

New—Lab 3: The brainstem

Neuroanatomy lab navigation Parts of the brainstem Midbrain Mesencephalon Pons Metencephalon Medulla Myelencephalon See Figure 3.1, Review 3.1, and Review 3.2. The basal subdivision of the brainstem is the most anterior and contains mostly the descending fiber tracts. The tegmentum is the location of the cranial nerve nuclei, ascending fiber tracts, and the reticular formation. […]

Lab 16: Anterior and Medial Compartments of Thigh; Hip Joint

Download this lab as a PDF Goals Identify the parts of the hip bones, femur, patella, and tibia that are associated with the anterior and medial thigh. Identify the femoral triangle, its boundaries, and contents, including the structures passing through the subinguinal space. Identify the adductor canal and its contents. Identify the muscles, nerves, and […]
