Lab 2, Station 3: Imaging of the Vertebral Column
Lab 2 navigation Radiography of the Spine Radiography involves using radiation (x-rays) to provide images of the tissues, organs, and bones, that comprise the human body. To create a radiograph, a patient is positioned so that the part of the body being imaged is located between an x-ray source and an x-ray detector. When the […]

Infracolic organs: The intestines
Optional reading Moore’s Clinically Oriented Anatomy, 10th ed., chapter 5: Abdomen, Abdominal viscera. Recall from The peritoneal cavity and mesenteries that the peritoneal cavity is divided into supracolic and infracolic regions, using the transverse colon and its mesentery (transverse mesocolon) as the borderline. In Organs in the supracolic region, the supracolic organs were described. In […]
Perineum
Optional Reading Clinically Oriented Anatomy, 9th ed., Perineum section. The perineum is the inferior-most region of the trunk, located between the thighs and buttocks. In the anatomic position the perineum is partially hidden because the thighs are together. When the thighs are abducted, the perineum has a diamond shape. Due to the forward tilt of […]
