00. Introduction to the Pelvic Viscera
Optional Reading Clinically Oriented Anatomy, 8th ed., Pelvic viscera section through Lymphatic drainage from female pelvic viscera. The “lay of the land”: The pelvic viscera are below the peritoneum, surrounded by visceral pelvic fascia, and separated from one another by subperitoneal pelvic connective tissue “packing material.” Most of the organs in the pelvic cavity (rectum, […]

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 […]
00. Tracheobronchial tree
Tracheobronchial tree Trachea: Distal continuation of the larynx, passing from the neck into the superior mediastinum. Can be palpated in the anterior neck, just above the suprasternal notch. The trachea bifurcates into the right and left main bronchi at the level of T-5 or T-6. The airway of the trachea is held open by C-shaped […]
