In my direct field of view, laid a 63-year-old man, who allegedly succumbed to respiratory arrest. This cadaver purportedly displayed a left-sided, three-headed bicep muscle. Though this portion of the muscle did not seem prevalent visually, I was informed by staff of its significance. This cadaver was meticulously maintained. All aspects of the posterior portion of the torso and lower limbs were intact at the time of my viewing (1751 hours-1931 hours). The torso was subjected to several square shaped horizontal incisions.All in all, I believe the entire C1-L5 posterior vertebral portion of this cadaver was exposed. A rapid head to toe examination of this cadaver resulted in a dissected posterior cervical portion, highlighting the C1-C5 region as well as the its surrounding tissue. The spinal cord was intact, as were portions of the rib cage.
The rib cage was separated in the posterior aspect, bilaterally, on each side of the spinal cord. This cadaver’s sciatic nerve was extremely prevalent.Regarding the inferior portion of the skeleton, it was of extreme importance to me to visualize the tibial aspect subjected to intraosseous access in the instance of an emergency. After all, I was once told by a well-respected medic that the big toe always meets theIO. Incidentally, this abject phrase ended up being very useful.Inferior to the tibial tuberosity laid the tibial plateau. This flat,smooth surface always seemed most appropriate for drilling. Thisimparted notion was verified by visualization of the total length and depth of this bone. Moreover, upon further inspection of the cadaver,a man-made plastic tube seemed to run under the right-sided surface of the lateral/posterior portion of the cranium. It was proposed, by several individuals, that this implant was designed to drain cerebral spinal fluid. This summation was never verified by any reliable source.
Moments later,our groups were told to switch cadavers. Before me, now laid a dismembered 73-year-old woman. Several students implied that this woman passed away from Graves Disease. As to the time of this writing, I can neither confirm nor deny this implication. Her spleen was clearly enlarged. Her gallbladder was removed. Her right knee was replaced. Her fabricated plastic patella was patterned after the other remaining. The size of the original patella and the fabricated patella seemed nearly identical. She seemed to have an enlarged liver. Her uterus’s lack of scarring and reduced size indicated that this individual might have never carried a fetus to term. All her major organs were rearranged. She displayed external hemorrhoids.
