24 september A Solemn and Interesting Anatomy Laboratory LessonI am having the Anatomy Laboratory lesson on each Monday.It was so interesting and i felt i have to write down something here.I was to write about this since the first day i got into the lab but i haven got to spend time here.
It is really a well-equipped lab, just as what the lecturer said,we have no excuse to do bad in Anatomy because,they are many different Anatomy books, plastic models of bones and ligaments ,X-ray slides,softwares that can give a very fine looks of each part of the body from different sides of view in the lab.
The instructors will first explain about the bones.We will get a real bone with us and identify every structures and landmarks of the bone ( for the region we study in that particular week,e.g. the thigh region/ the pelvis region).I found the most interesting part of this section is that we got to have enough understanding to judge is it the right/left side of the bone i am holding ,which part is supposed to be faced in front/back and how to locate the bone in myself. We will get to know why is it facing the particular direction and the reason of the prominences or structure of the bones.We also here to feel the curvature of the bones.It is fun ~~
Not only these, the MOST IMPORTANT thing is that, there are many cadavers (dead body) here. Actuclly i din't aspect and haven got myself prepared to study on the cadavers in the first week as we are not being told about this before.I only got to know it untill we are brought infront of the white cloth covered cadavers.
The lecturers or instructors however seem acting so normally when they uncovered the cadavers one by one after thier explaination on the plastic models.I pretended to be as clam as possible as i seen my coursemates din't even have any scary expression shown,so i have to be like them... Imagine that walking in between the beds of cadavers....The lab was almost soundless except a very low volume of explaination of the instructors.We are expected to memorise all the muscles,bones, blood vessels and nerves that we had learned in the Funtional Anatomy during the last lecture, although i cant do that every times.
We are here to identify (to find by flipping over different layers of muscles) everythings we had learned.The cadavers are being cut at different ways to expose different muscles of different layers.We have to try on different cadavers as there might be differences of structure between different people and sometime it is easy to identify a particular muscles in one cadaver but not the other.The arteries,veins and nerves look so alike and is really hard to differentiate them.
This lab is very useful as i will get more understanding of them which i cant get to know so clearly about it from the books.However, if you dint do any pre-reading or revise before coming to this lab, you will end up learning nothing here as all the muscles and blood vessels and nerves look so alike to you.Thats why the saying goes " No pain,No gain"...
So,every weekend i will be busy reading the "bible" --the Clinical Oriented Anatomy,a very very think book before going into the Laboratory with white lab gown at the cornermost building of my university--the Y core,
the highest floor--14th floor,
the strangest room---room 1444...
I pay my highest respect and gratitude towards people who are willing to sacrificed themselves here after their death...
