The amount of surgical errors in medicine has steadily increased. One reason for this escalation can be linked back to a decline in anatomical knowledge (12,24). Without anatomical knowledge, vital roles within health and medical fields cannot exist. Lack of anatomical knowledge prevents accurate diagnosis, treatment, and hinders the essential skill in medicine to locate, describe, and relate structures (3,14,22). Utilizing cadaver based labs in undergraduate programs is essential for…

Multiple Sclerosis is an immune-mediated disease. This immune mediated process is directed towards the central nervous system. Through this process it causes the immune system to surround and attack the myelin around the nerve fibers in the body of the victim. Once this myelin has been stripped from the nerve endings, it is very hard for it to regenerate or repair itself. These attacks against the body interrupts and distorts nerve impulses traveling to the brain. MS is a common name for…
