brain cells died over our Anatomy spot test today. Although it is worth just 2.5% of the overall semester score, everyone seemed pretty antsy about it. Maybe cos it's the first spot test and you know how it is with the 'firsts' in all things.
Well, we pored through all photos of our dissection and ran through our specimen - from trunk muscles with names like Latissimus Dorsi, Trapezius, Rhomboid, Cleiodocephalicus, Sternocephalicus to muscles of the shoulder and brachiam (arm) like Supraspinatus, Subscapularis, Deltoides, Brachialis, Teres Major, Long Heads of Triceps .... not to mention the names and functions of all bone parts and nerves and arteries and veins.....
Our group got good marks for presentation, neatness of dissection and explanation of our dissection process and close to full marks for identifying anatomical parts ... to a final score of 17/20. Hmm...20/20 would be so good, ha!
Tomorrow noon, we'll get to troop down to the barn to hear some horses' heartbeats, how cool! Ok, time to regenerate brain cells now ;p ........ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

ReplyDeletebig sis.
i'm more amazed at the people who thought up those names.....;) wiki 'rectus abdominis and this is what i get - "The rectus abdominis muscle is a paired muscle running vertically on each side of the anterior wall of the human abdomen (and in some other animals). There are two parallel muscles, separated by a midline band of connective tissue, the linea alba. It extends from the pubic symphysis/pubic crest inferiorly to the xiphisternum/xiphoid process and lower costal cartilages (5-7) superiorly." Haha...more strange words...but hey, abs are good ya!
