Complete Cadaver Dissection (Caution May be Disturbing to Some)

[medicRob]

As some of you know, I am a teaching assistant in Anatomy & Physiology I and II with a pretty good sized University. As such, I never pass up an attempt to learn something new in the field of biology or to share resources with others. Therefore, I want to share with you 27 videos highlighting a complete cadaver dissection.

I want to take a moment to say that some of these videos have the genitals of the cadaver exposed. However, I see no reason why there should be any problem with me posting these vids seeing as:

A) I have obtained permission from the video owner to post them here.

B) These are anatomical videos and as such, the nudity contained within these videos is not considered explicit and therefore is in compliance with forum rules under the following grounds.

We do not allow posts that are sexual in nature or violate EMTLife community standards.

These videos are not:

A) Sexual in Nature
B) Are for the purposes of anatomy and are therefore suitable content
for an EMT education forum.


Now, on to the post.

-----------------
There you have it. It is my hope that by watching these videos you have expanded your knowledge of human anatomy and will take away a more complex understanding of the structure of the human body. Cadaver anatomy has a way of painting a clearer picture than any textbook ever could. Moreover, in situations involving multiple cadaver dissections, you are afforded the ability to see the wide range of variations between humans of different ages and pathologies.. rather than the standard healthy 20 year old depicted in most textbooks.

I will be following up this post with one about Physiology once I have obtained the appropriate permission from the video owners to post them.

Awesome! Thank you.

 

[harryb714]

Just watched the first video and it was extremely interesting. Now I just need to find some time to watch the rest....Thanks for sharing!

 

[dixie_flatline]

Wish I could watch these on my iPad... Stupid flash.

I just watched them on mine. Youtube uses H.264, you can play them. Also, if you run into probs cause they are embedded, just use the skyfire browser or download frash from comex (You have to be jb for the last one)

 

[lightsandsirens5]

Awesome! I have wanted to sit for an autopsy. But they don't let you here. I can't wait to watch these.

And I love the fine print warning/disclaimer/whatchamacallit.

Yeah, after having received infraction points here for merely posting a full article (Even though I put a FULL APA citation directly beneath it and a link to the original), I felt like I had better put a warning over this one, even though it is pure anatomy and extremely relevant to EMS Providers. It's kinda sad really that it comes to having to post a "This is not sexually explicit" message on a cadaver dissection, but if that's what I have to do for them to allow it to stay here so some members can get a better understanding of anatomy then that's what I'll do.

Once I get permission from the owner of the physiology vids to post them here, I'm gonna make a post this size outlining the various systems then elaborating on certain aspects of each one to accompany it.

ERROR: If you can see this then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.

I can't see any links, just the error messages. I'm not jailbroken, but maybe I'll look into skyfire.

 

[medicRob]

Yeah, that's cause you are using Safari on your iPad. iPad has no native flash functionality, on purpose.

That's all you'll get from safari. Download "skyfire browser" it will play flash.

Is anyone else curious about the lack of gloves? I'm not familiar with cadaver preservation techniques but even if there is no dangerous chemicals used I imagine you might be left with funky smelling hands. Or even worse some stray bits and pieces caught under your finger nails.

Yea I know what you mean.

And looking forward to the next video barrage. I love learning new stuff. Bring it on!

 

[Asimurk]

Thanks Rob. I take it as a good sign that while watching the first video I was able to keep eating breakfast. Started getting hungry for chicken though. Definitely putting the medical terminology learned to use for processing what the guy is saying.

Wonderful. Save me a wing, lol.

 

[socalmedic]

takes me back to my anatomy class. thanks for putting this up.

Anatomists are only alive at this point because of all the preservatives coursing through their veins.

Personally, I'm more curious of the lack of fanny pack. I thought anatomists running cadaver labs were required to wear one at all times.

 

[medicRob]

Well, as far as pathogens go, the bodies are preserved via formalin. However, I am just a stickler for gloves so I can definitely see where you are coming from.

The Coolest Thing I've Ever Seen!!

I have to say that is by far one of the coolest things I've ever seen!! I am an EMT-B student right now and we are about to take our first module exam (chapters 1-5), I loved it when she cut the heart open and you could see the atria and the ventricles. Also it gave a better view as far as exact positioning of the heart within the thoracic cavity than our textbook did. The human body is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this!!

I'm glad you are finding use of it. Make sure to look at other structures too like the "Chordae Tendenae" and see if you can plot the location of the mitral and tricuscpid valves from just looking at it. That will serve you well in your stethoscopy later if you choose to move on to ALS.

 

[abckidsmom]

I' be using these in the high school anatomy class I'm teaching. thanks!

 

[Aprz]

Rob, I just want to say thank-you for sharing this with us. I was looking into how to get into an A&P class with cadaver dissection, but it'll be a long time before I meet the requirements to get into that class at my school since I am still a new student. I watched the first video, but unfortunately I must run off to work now to sell chicken wings.

... and now I really can tell people I saw it on tv (well, Youtube).
