Today we discuss a tendon named after the Ancient Greek Demigod Achilles which is a good name for the strongest tendon in the human body! Legend has it Achilles was dipped in the River Styx by his mother Thetis who secured him by his heal to do so.

Let's explore the subdivisions that make up the hind, mid, and forefoot and add in a couple of classic clinically relevant aspects of this anatomy. A commonly used mnemonic to remember the small tarsal bones is Tiger Cubs Need M I L C.

2022/04/01

This week let's tackle an area of anatomy that many learn ready for an exam, only to discover that this knowledge has gone again mere days to weeks later. The infamous but wonderful anatomy underpinning facial palsies and specifically how to differentiate upper vs lower motor neurone lesions. In this podcast, we will discuss key anatomical principles underpinning types of motor neurones and give a nod to the corticobulbar tract. We will discuss how bicortical representation of the temporal branch of

The Bladder and its innervation

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2022/03/22

To micturate or not to micturate that is the question? This week let's talk about bladder function and focus on what nerves facilitate this function. Stretch receptors, the detrusor muscle, internal vs external urethral sphincters, parasympathetic vs sympathetic bladder control, and the named nerves that control all of this.

This week we explore the anatomy of cranial nerve VII, the Facial nerve. Let's travel along its tortuous route, and discover its many branches linking each to their varied functions. Along our journey, we will explore vestigial ear wigglers, a small muscle that probably dampens down and protects against LOUD NOISES, and finish by exploring the signs and symptoms experienced by someone during a facial nerve palsy.

This week let’s delve into the anatomy of the scalp. 5 layers of connective tissue that sit atop the cranial vault to provide numerous functions not limited to allowing a fancy hairdo. In this episode, we will explore the structure of these layers, the neurovascular supply and also discuss emissary veins. Examining this anatomy will allow us to explain why scalp lacerations can cause significant haemorrhage, and also understand why infections in the danger layer of the scalp can be

2022/02/19

At the very end of the gastrointestinal tract is a length of bowel that is arguably the most important part of the whole tract. This terminal segment creates a solid, liquid, and event air-tight barrier, which provides control over bowel contents until it is socially acceptable to release them. But how? In this podcast, Sam discusses the anatomy of the four mechanisms of feacal continence. Specific areas covered include the internal vs external anal sphincters, the pelvic floor muscles, and the

2022/02/14

Today we will tell you a story about a little green coloured fluid called bile that aids digestion and is made in a megafactory called the liver. One day it decides to escape the confines of the liver through a system of tunnels or drainage tubes. Along its treacherous journey bile is made to seek refuge in a safe house called the gallbladder. Only when its friend 'Cholecystokinin' gives it the “all clear” does it continue its liberation where along the way it joins forces with a fellow escapee

In this episode, we explore a subpart of the central nervous system by dissecting the basic anatomy of the spinal cord. We will delve into its location, length, diameter, and internal organisation of grey vs white matter. We outline terms such as spinal nerve, the conus medullaris, and scrutinize how this latter structure differs from the cauda equina. All this anatomy lays the foundation for discussing a lumbar puncture but also looking at spinal cord injuries and how spinal levels and nerve root

2022/01/14

After spending his last few episodes rummaging around in the anatomy of the skull, in this episode, Chris explores the anatomy and function of the nasal cavity. Should we give preference to nasal breathing? What exactly are the functions of the nose and why do we have air-filled spaces in our skull termed the paranasal sinuses?

2021/12/30

In this episode, Sam explores the first part of the small intestine, the Duodenum. This soundbite builds a picture of the gross anatomy and explains how the arrangement of cells in the duodenum, facilitates its function as a subpart of the gastrointestinal tract. Do you know your Brunner's glands from your crypts of Lieberkuhn? Your Villi from your Microvilli? If not join us as we dissect this knowledge together.
