24. Digital Cadaver Lesson: The Lower Limb
January 19, 2023
The complex musculature of the feet is easy to visualize with the
23. The Features of Our Complicated Feet
January 19, 2023
Although we think of our hands as being the most intricate and complex parts of our limbs, our feet have a few more intrinsic muscles than our hands. Explore the complexities of the bones, muscles, and tendons within the feet
22. Knee to Ankle: The Anatomical Leg
January 19, 2023
Continue the exploration of the knee t, one of the most complex ts in the body. Examine the multiple bones and ligaments that allow for both movement of this hinge t as well as stability. Learn about the ACL and why a tear in the meniscus takes so long to heal. Get to know the three muscle compartments that lie between the knee and ankle.
21. The Thigh: Our Largest Bone and Its Muscles
January 19, 2023
Continue your examination of the lower limbs with the femur, the body
20. The Multiplex Pelvis and Its Hip t
January 19, 2023
While the childhood hip bones are three separate bony elements with cartilaginous growth regions, the three regions are united into one single bone once the cartilage has ossified. The pelvis is a complex of the two hip bones as well as the sacrum and coccyx. Explore the multi-axial hip ts and the pelvis, where differences between the female and male skeleton are most obvious.
19. Nerve Plexuses of the Lower Limb
January 19, 2023
Explore the lumbar and sacral plexuses, those networks of interconnected nerves that control the muscles of the lower extremity and pelvic floor and that relay sensations from the lower limbs and genitalia. As part of the sacral plexus, you
17. The Hand and How It Works
January 19, 2023
Explore the architecture of the human hand, one of the most significant anatomical features that separates us from almost all other animal life. It
16. The Complexity of the Forearm and Wrist
January 19, 2023
Learn about our nearly 20 forearm muscles that cause wrist and finger movements, as well as the remarkable actions of our thumb. The ability to oppose the thumb with other digits in a grasping motion is one of the hallmarks of our primate lineage. The forearm is also home to muscles that allow us to turn our palms to face up or down, an action which actually occurs at the elbow.
15. Shoulder to Elbow: The Anatomical Arm
January 19, 2023
Explore the bones, muscles, and ligaments of the elbow, a complex region actually made up of three separate ts. Learn about the fascia of the arm and the cutaneous veins that provide the extra blood you can access in an emergency
14. The Shoulder: Mobility versus Stability
January 19, 2023
Explore the strengths and weaknesses of the human shoulder and the relationship of that t to the anatomy of past primates who spent their lives swinging in the trees. Learn about the many bones and muscles that make up this complex and most mobile t, and some of the ways in which it
13. The Brachial Plexus of the Upper Limb
January 19, 2023
Examine the brachial plexus, the network of nerves that relays signals from the spinal cord to the upper limb and that takes almost all sensations of that region to the central nervous system for processing. More complex than any other plexus of the somatic nervous system, its work is integral to our day-to-day living.
12. Digital Cadaver Lesson: Head, Neck, and Torso
January 19, 2023
While scientists have been examining cadavers for at least the past two millennia, anatomists today have the extraordinary tool of
11. Torso Muscles: Thoracic, Abdominal, and Pelvic
January 19, 2023
Explore the musculature of the torso
10. Back Muscles: Layering and Movements
January 19, 2023
Explore the muscles of the back in all their layered complexity. Learn which muscles
9. The Many Muscles of the Head and Neck
January 19, 2023
Discover the fascinating musculature of the face, muscles we rarely think about, but which allow us to communicate our most subtle emotions. Learn about muscles of the neck that direct our head movements. Examine the functions of some of our 12 pairs of cranial nerves and how they relate to muscles and sensations of the head and neck.
8. The Skeleton of the Head and Torso
January 19, 2023
When we think of our body
7. The Spine: Fundamentals of the Body
January 19, 2023
The body
6. The Role of the Nervous System in Movement
January 19, 2023
Begin to examine two of the primary divisions of the nervous system, the central and peripheral. Learn about the cranial nerves that govern functions in the head and neck and the spinal nerves that control skeletal muscles and receive sensations from the trunk and limbs.
5. Muscles as Systems for Motion and
January 19, 2023
Explore the three types of muscle tissue that move our bodies, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Learn the major functions of skeletal muscle, which not only moves our skeletal system but also keeps it still and stable, provides as much as 85% of our normal body heat, and regulates glycemic control.
4. The Terminology of Movement Patterns
January 19, 2023
Explore the six categories of our freely movable synovial ts, the fulcrums of our bodies
3. ts: Structure Determines Function
January 19, 2023
When we consider our anatomical ts, we usually think of movement
2. Bones as the Body
January 19, 2023
Begin to explore the fascinating skeleton of the human body, the bones of the leverage systems that cause our movements. But did bones evolve for the purpose of moving an organism along? Or might bones have evolved as a response to a completely different need
1. The Essential Language of Anatomy
January 19, 2023
Welcome to the unique language of the body, where you
