Dissection Laboratory Materials, Tools, and Techniques

Using appropriate dissection laboratory materials and tools is essential in making the dissection of a cadaver as rewarding as possible. Many experienced dissectors have their favorite tools. Obtaining the following materials and dissection tools allows dissectors to care for their cadaver donor while acquiring experience and knowledge of a successful dissection. Although not comprehensive, this list provides appropriate tools to dissect a cadaver donor in the…

Neuroanatomy

Part I: Nervous system overview The nervous system is structurally divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) ( eFig. 9.1 ). Components of the CNS are the brain and spinal cord, which are enclosed by the cranial cavity and vertebral column. PNS structures include cranial nerves (CNs), spinal nerves, autonomic nerves, and the enteric nervous system. Development During the third week…
