Animal anatomy

Every year thousands of prospective medical students spend hundreds of thousands of dollars paying for tuition, only to find out that a medical profession does not suit them. Many people aspire to become doctors, whether it be to help others or for the high salary. Yet, they often do not know the difficulties faced by doctors as they study in college, become admitted to medical school, complete their residency, and find the work setting that best suits them. The purpose of this research project…

I’ve always been interested in the medical field. When I was born I was in complete heart block. I had to be transferred to another hospital so they could put in a Medtronic Pacemaker. From a very young age, I was always interested in my pacemaker and how it works. Some days I would spend a lot of my time just thinking about my pacemaker and other surgeries that go on, on a day to day basis. I’ve have been told the common information about why I needed it but I always wanted to know more…

Fetal Sus Dissection and Exploration S. Topzand, N. Gigliazza, N. Cordell, E. Nomura, J. Immel Introduction: Dissection is a medical procedure that has proved its significance in the progression of what we know, anatomically, about every organism since it was first performed by two Roman physicians in the 3rd century. Not only that, but it has also helped to spark other very substantial scientific studies. So exactly how far back does dissection go? Well in about the third century, BCE, there…

apart and his heart pounding, trying to stay alive. Now was my chance everything I learned about anatomy could help me in this moment. No more time to be wasted I go into the room with anatomy deep in my veins. The knowledge of anatomy helps in the saving of lives, but we didn’t always have this information. Anatomy has a history, however, how did it all begin, and who brought the knowledge of human anatomy to us. To understand…

forms of skeletons in the animal kingdom are: hydrostatic skeletons, exoskeletons, and endoskeletons. Hydrostatic skeletons are found in cnidarians, worms, and many mollusks. It consists of a fluid filled sac in which the fluid is good support, however, it is formless. Animals with hydrostatic skeletons have two sets of antagonistic muscles (muscles that work in opposition to each other). These muscles are longitudinal muscles and circular muscles, which both help the animal maintain its shape.…

known for many different styles of art. The Ars Anatomica collection is prints that Leo did of the human anatomy. They are usually presented in the form of a book, but in the Leepa museum they are all hung together so you can see them as a collection. Baskin uses dark lines to shade and depict the human anatomy. In the two works that I am using, the prints show the images of the human anatomy in an honest form. The first print…

Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy means the structure of the human body. Ana (making) Tomy (cutting.) Physiology means the study of normal human body’s functions. Physio (physical) Logy (study.) There are two different types of anatomy, which are Gross Anatomy and Microscopic Anatomic. Gross Anatomy refers to the structures that can be seen with the eyes. For example: the heart, the liver, and the kidneys. There are several subdivisions of Gross Anatomy such as; surface anatomy,…

angles can be used to elongate or foreshorten parts of the anatomy that are the necessary focus of a radiographic study. Some examples include the tangential calcaneus and axial cranium projections. These directional changes of the tube can be very beneficial when trying to diagnose certain fractures, blastomas, and other assorted pathologies that would have been difficult to see on a radiograph with standard perpendicular CR…

euthanasiated with clove oil. The external anatomy of the fish has five fins; pectoral, pelvic, dorsal, anal and caudal fin, a cloaca is located right behind the anal fin and this is where the cut is made until the beginning of the head. The fillet is removed to expose the internal organs. The crucian carp anatomy is similar to that of the other vertebrates. The fish contains most of the internal…

Previously, a Greek anatomist named Galen found most of the information on anatomy that was used during that time period. He had previously found that there was a set of arteries leading directly from the heart to the brain called the rete mirabile. Andreas Vesalius proved that there is no such thing as the rete mirabile through the dissection of animals and humans. This shows how he was the most influential anatomist in the Renaissance because he showed, through…
