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? Join us as we explore these answers and more in another 5-minute podcast on Dissectible Me! Want to know more about Ear, Nose and Throat anatomy or pathology? Visit

The Duodenum

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

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.

An Introduction to the human skull

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2021/11/22

In this episode, we will be talking about arguably the most iconic and easily recognisable area of all human anatomy, the skull. Join us in this initial exploratory foray, where we will introduce the basics of the skull. Let’s uncover what is meant by the terms neurocranium, viscerocranium, and calvarium. What exactly is a soft spot or fontanelle and how does this differ from a suture? What are the main sutures and how do they relate to the condition craniosynostosis? All will be revealed in this

The Pituitary gland

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2021/11/14

This week we talk about 'the master gland'. Getting all Lord of the Rings on you, it’s a gland that rules them all! Or at least one that controls lots of the other endocrine glands in the body. This podcast covers the many functions of the gland and some of the hormones it produces. We will explore the anatomy and location of the gland, and outline the anatomical reasoning for some of the visual symptoms we see in pituitary tumours.

Anatomy of the Ear (The basics)

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2021/11/10

This week's podcast covers the very foundations of otology and the anatomy of the ear. What is meant by the terms outer, middle, and inner ear, and what is the bespoke function that each provides? At the end of the soundbite, we explore the clinical relevance of otitis and how ear infections affect the outlined subsections of this magnificent organ. SPOILER ALERT This one is longer than 5 minutes, but still remains the record shortest amount of time Chris has ever spoken about ear anatomy.

The Dural Venous Sinuses

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2021/10/26

This one is tough to cover in 5 minutes only, but its understanding is key for some very contemporary clinical medicine. Today we tackle the venous drainage of the brain by introducing the dural venous sinuses. In this episode we will discuss the structure of a dural venous sinus, outlining the major named sinuses we find within the cranial cavity. We also highlight some very important structures that traverse them and finish by discussing the life-threatening clinical condition of a Dural or

The Thymus

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2021/10/16

This week's episode explores an organ that until the 1960s was thought to be vestigial. A primary lymphoid organ that is vitally important in the development and maturation of your immune system as a child. However, as an adult, it undergoes involution and appears as nothing more than some fatty tissue. An organ that is sometimes called a gland, that is not a gland but looks like a gland.....enter the Thymus. We will explore the location of the thymus, its anatomic features, its functions, and in

The Brain (The basics of the obvious lumpy bits)

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2021/09/26

This week let us follow in the footsteps of our neuroscientist predecessors, reviewing their discoveries that linked the physical anatomy of the brain to corresponding basic functions. Discoveries that were largely steeped in the concept of reverse engineering, linking brain damage to functional loss. What are the main subcomponents of the brain and basically speaking what do they do? In today's episode, we will discuss the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum, and for each, we outline an overview of
