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.

Kidneys

2024/11/08

The kidneys manage the amount of water and salts in the body, regulate blood pressure, stimulate red blood cell synthesis, and remove toxins among other jobs. Let's talk about the key points of their anatomy for 5 minutes.

The Clavicle

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/11/01

This episode explores the anatomy of the clavicle or collarbone, the smallest long bone in the human body. We’ll dive into its shape, size, joints, etymology, & muscular attachments. Ever wondered about the clavicles of a T. rex? By the end of this episode, you wonder no more!

Breathing anatomy

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/10/25

The anatomy of breathing uses a number of muscles to change pressures inside the thorax and adds more muscles and more movements when we need more air. At rest you're just using your diaphragm and the elastic recoil of the lungs themselves, when you're a little more active and running around the intercostal muscles start to move the ribs, and when you really need to pull air in and push it out you can take advantage of accessory muscles of respiration that might not normally move the ribs.

Cochlea and Hearing

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/10/18

In this episode, we unravel the anatomy of the cochlea, the intricate organ that makes hearing possible. Discover how this tiny structure converts sound waves into electrical impulses, bridging the gap between the ear and the brain.

Intercostal muscles

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/10/11

Three layers of intercostal muscles run between the ribs to form the thoracic wall, resist the pressure changes of respiration and move the ribs. What would happen if these muscles were not there?

Lymph node anatomy

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/10/04

Lymph nodes are little bean shaped structures filled with the cells of the immune system and dotted around the body. Pathogens from skin injuries or that enter the body in other ways are passed to a lymph node and the cells here can respond. They are major parts of the immune system but metastatic cancer cells may also pass here, get stuck and continue to proliferate. This is important anatomy then, so let's quickly talk about it in around 5 minutes of podcast world time.

Swallowing anatomy

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/09/21

Swallowing is a sequence of events that must occur in a well ordered manner to ensure food and drink goes to the oesophagus and not into the airway. What is this sequence and what cranial nerves do we need to worry about?

Popliteal fossa

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/09/13

The popliteal fossa is posterior to the knee joint and in here we can find some major blood vessels and nerves. We will describe the boundaries of this fossa, the major structures that run through here, why this is useful clinical information and a couple of notes about remembering their names correctly.

Astrocytes and brain tumours

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/08/09

Astrocytes are cells in the central nervous system crucial for supporting neurones and their function. A glioblastoma is a dangerous, rapidly growing type of brain tumour. Guess how they are linked.

Nervous tissue

2024/08/02

Neurones are the major cells of the nervous system, but how do they work, how are they arranged, and what are the other cells of the nervous system?

Trachea and bronchi

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/07/19

The anatomy of the airway is incredibly important and fairly simple. The structures of the trachea and bronchi are adapted tubes that don't collapse with changes in pressure, and the mucociliary escalator has an important protective role.

Mediastinum

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/07/12

The mediastinum is a region within the thorax between the lungs. In here we find the heart, great vessels, trachea, oesophagus and other anatomical structures. We can further describe where these structures are by dividing the mediastinum up into superior and inferior parts, and the inferior mediastinum up into anterior, middle and posterior medastinal compartments.

Vena cava

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/07/05

The anatomy of the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava in 5 minutes, with a little extra about anastomoses. These are the largest and some of the most important veins in the body.

Muscle tissue

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/06/21

How do skeletal muscle cells (myocytes) change their length? How does this relate to the different types of contractions that we see in gross anatomy and rigor mortis?

Parathyroid glands

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/06/14

The parathyroid glands are vital as they help regulate blood calcium levels. Where are they?

The sinoatrial node is the pacemaker of the heart. Let's talk about it in a little more detail.

Saphenous veins and varicose veins

2024/05/24

The saphenous veins are superficial veins of the lower limbs. Why do they become varicose veins and why are they used in CABG surgery? What is CABG?

Coeliac trunk

Dissectible Me 5 minute anatomy ·

2024/05/10

The coeliac trunk is a branch of the aorta in the abdomen that supplies blood to the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and parts of the duodenum and oesophagus. It is important because its branches supply blood to important organs but also because stomach and duodenal ulcers can erode through these arteries and cause significant bleeding. The anatomy here is difficult to describe but let's try and describe the branches of the coeliac trunk and how they supply blood to the organs that
