Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy

Епизоде

• 
  Forearm anatomy 18.09.2026 5мин

  What anatomy would I include if I only had 5 minutes to talk about forearm? I think I'd group the muscles, movements and nerves together to better understand what movements would be affected by a nerve injury.

  Sympathetic and parasympathetic effects on the heart 13.09.2026 6мин

  The autonomic nervous system innervates the sino-atrial node and controls the rate of contraction of the heart. What other effects do sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves have on the heart? I can think of two more.

  Abdominal surface anatomy landmarks, quadrants and regions 04.09.2026 6мин

  There are a few anatomy landmarks of the abdomen, some of them bony, that we can palpate and use to understand what structures lie deep to the skin here. We can also use them to divide up the abdomen into either 4 imaginary quadrants or 6 regions to help use describe signs or symptoms to others. 
• 
  Airway anatomy 31.07.2026 6мин

  Let's introduce the anatomy of the airway very briefly by starting at the nose and the mouth and working our way down to the alveoli. 
• 
  Angle of Louis (or sternal angle) 24.07.2026 5мин

  The sternal angle is an important surface anatomy landmark of the chest, deep to which some major anatomical structures lie. 
• 
  Synovial joint classifications 10.07.2026 7мин

  Synovial joints are specialised for movement. The shapes of the articulating surfaces define what movements are allowed, and we can anatomically classify synovial joints by these shapes and by these movements. We have hinge, ball and socket, plane, saddle and condyloid synovial joints. 
• 
  Anatomical types of joints 03.07.2026 6мин

  Fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints and synovial joints. We can define them by what they are made of, and in turn, what they are made of tells us what movements they might allow. 
• 
  Femur 26.06.2026 6мин

  The biggest bone in the body. What pertinent anatomical features should you be aware of?
• 
  Ovaries 19.06.2026 5мин

  What would I include if I only had 5 minutes to talk about the functional anatomy of the ovary? 
• 
  Nerves in the inguinal canal 09.06.2026 6мин

  What nerves run through the inguinal canal and are they at risk of injury during an inguinal hernia repair? 
• 
  Hippocampus 05.06.2026 6мин

  The hippocampus is part of the limbic system in the brain. What does that mean? What does it do? Where is it? In 5 minutes(ish)?
• 
  Oesophagus 29.05.2026 6мин

  The oesophagus is a muscular tube linking the pharynx to the stomach. The muscles of the face and pharynx are skeletal and under somatic control, whereas the muscles of the stomach are smooth and autonomic. Where does this change happen? 
• 
  Ossicles of the ear 21.05.2026 6мин

  Why do we have three tiny bones in each ear? 
• 
  Stroke 08.05.2026 6мин

  When we talk about "stroke" or a cerebrovascular event we're describing reduced blood flow to a region of the brain. What are the different types and how does this relate to our functional anatomical knowledge of the brain, brainstem and blood supply? 
• 
  Trochlear nerve (CN IV) palsy 01.05.2026 6мин

  The trochlear nerve (CN IV) has the single task of innervating the superior oblique muscle. Unfortunately the actions of this muscle on the eye are a little awkward to understand, so how is the eye affected if the trochlear nerve is injured?
• 
  Abducens nerve (CN VI) palsy 24.04.2026 5мин

  The abducens nerve is one of those lovely cranial nerves that only does one thing, making learning it nice and easy. But what happens when it is injured, and how can that knowledge be helpful? 
• 
  Oculomotor nerve (CN III) palsy 21.04.2026 5мин

  What happens to the eye when the oculomotor nerve is injured or compressed? How can these signs and symptoms inform us about what might be happening inside the cranial cavity? 
• 
  Pupillary light reflex 27.03.2026 6мин

  The pupillary light reflex can let you test the optic nerve, midbrain and oculomotor nerve just by shining a light into someone's eye. Let's talk about the anatomy and how this works. 
• 
  External ear anatomy 20.03.2026 5мин

  Those folds and lumps of the external ear have all got names. Let's feel the concha, tragus, antitragus, helix, antihelix and opening of the external acoustic meatus together. 
• 
  Acoustic reflex 13.03.2026 6мин

  The acoustic reflex is a mechanism that protects the ear from loud sounds. It is also called the stapedial reflex, middle-ear-muscle reflex and auditory reflex, among other names. What is the neuroanatomical pathway of this reflex, how does it work, how are the smallest bone and muscle in the body involved, and how can it be useful in determining problems with hearing?
