Small intestine

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/05/23

There is so much that we could talk about when looking at the anatomy of the small intestine, but if I only had 5 minutes what would I choose as the most important ideas?

Axilla

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/05/09

The axilla is the armpit, and an anatomical space linking the torso with the upper limb. Let's define its borders so we better understand where it is and then we can talk briefly about the structures that we find passing through or residing in there.

Hyoid bone

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/05/02

The anatomy of this slender U-shaped bone in the neck at the top of the larynx is crucial to the normal functions of the larynx and swallowing, but why?

Parasympathetic nervous system

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/04/11

Squeezing in a little more detail about the parasympathetic nervous system I can talk about all of the cranial nerves that carry parasympathetic neurones, brainstem nuclei, the parasympathetic ganglia of the head and the functions of this division of the nervous system in about 5 minutes.

Sympathetic nervous system

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/04/07

What are the most important points about the functional anatomy of the sympathetic nervous system? And what central nervous system structures drive the sympathetic nervous system? In 5ish minutes?

What is the autonomic nervous system?

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/03/28

I'll try to describe what it is and its anatomy in a concise 5 minutes. Ish.

Posterior triangle of the neck

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/03/17

We can use surface anatomy landmarks to define triangles in the neck to help us locate anatomical structures deep to the skin. Within the posterior triangle of the neck we can find the roots of the brachial plexus, the subclavian artery and vein, and most importantly the accessory nerve (CN XI).

Anterior triangle of the neck

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/03/07

The anterior triangle of the neck is a region defined by surface anatomy landmarks that help you locate critical anatomical structures. Let's palpate together!

Hip joint

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/02/21

The bones, ligaments and synovial bits of the hip joint between the acetabulum of the pelvis and the head of the femur.

Lumbosacral plexus

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/02/14

The lumbosacral plexus is the anatomy of the low back and pelvis that forms the major nerves of the lower abdomen, pelvis and lower limb. It is not as susceptible to injury as the brachial plexus so clinically we understand the anatomy of this plexus a little differently, but it is important to be able to recall the spinal nerve roots of the major nerves here and the functions that will be lost if injured.

Upper and lower motor neurones

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/02/07

Understanding the anatomy of upper and lower motor neurones can be very useful when trying to use the results of an examination, signs and symptoms to diagnose the location of a neurological lesion.

Spinal tracts neuroanatomy

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/01/31

Spinal tracts are bundles of neuronal axons that run through the spinal cord and brainstem. If we think about how neurones work, how they are bundled together with similar functions, which direction the action potentials are running in and the names of these tracts, we can remember what they all do.

Referred pain

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/01/24

Referred pain is felt at a different location in the body from the site that is causing the pain. There seems to be an anatomical reason for this and understanding the theories can help with diagnosis and patient care.

Urethra

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/01/17

Talking about the anatomy of the urethra and better understanding why women get more urinary tract infections than men.

Blood supply to the hand

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2025/01/10

The radial and ulnar arteries both supply blood to the hand and meet as two arches that send branches off to the fingers. This anatomy gives redundancy for the blood supply to the hand so let's talk about where these arteries run and how they branch.

Thumb movements

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/12/20

The names of the movements of the thumb can be tricky to remember, but knowing the movements gives you the names of the muscles that cause these movements.

Hand movements anatomy (wrist and fingers)

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/12/11

Relating the movements of the hand to the nerves responsible is an important clinical skill. Let's see if I can describe the movements of the wrist and fingers, and the nerves that trigger these movements in 5 minutes.

Erection

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/12/05

The anatomy of erection of the clitoris and the penis is very similar and a rather neat mechanism involving the parasympathetic nervous system.

Bronchial and pulmonary circulation in the lungs

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/11/22

Did you know that alongside the pulmonary arteries taking poorly oxygenated blood to the lungs run bronchial arteries carrying well oxygenated blood? Where do they come from, and where does this blood go to?

Ureters

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/11/15

The ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, and are muscular tubes lined by a urothelium. They use peristaltic contractions to send the urine in the right direction so do not rely on gravity, and because they run from the mid-abdomen down to the true pelvis they receive a number of arterial branches as they travel and likewise use nerves from a number of spinal levels to send the pain of a kidney stone obstruction back to the brain.
