ELECT EANAB - Three Dimensional Anatomy

THIS COURSE IS DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS ENTERING SURGICAL SPECIALTIES AND SUBSPECIALTIES OR RADIOLOGY

OBJECTIVE

The student will demonstrate the ability to visualize a specific anatomical region in three dimensions by performing a complete dissection in one of five anatomical regions (head & neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis-perineum, or joints), then correlate the dissection with axial sections of the area as viewed in the Netanatomy atlas.

GOAL

              The student, through cadaveric dissection and exploration of axial sections, will gain a detailed understanding of the three dimensional anatomy of a specific region of the body.

TEXTS

                Anatomy Atlas: Netter, Grants or Thieme

             Axial Section Atlas: Netanatomy.com

              Anatomage Table

SPECIFIC DUTIES OF SENIOR STUDENTS

The student will demonstrate their dissection to the Anatomy Course Director and will take an oral quiz where the student will identify all structures in the dissected area including the vascular and nerve supply and duct systems. The student will also identify and demonstrate the three dimensional relationships between the identified structures on the dissected area and on the axial sections of the area provided by the Netanatomy atlas and Anatomage Table.

It is the student’s responsibility to contact Dr. Sumitra Miriyala (smiriy@lsuhsc.edu) prior to the first day of the course to schedule a brief orientation meeting regarding the specific dissection and expectations.
