24. Digital Cadaver Lesson: The Lower Limb

January 19, 2023

The complex musculature of the feet is easy to visualize with the

23. The Features of Our Complicated Feet

January 19, 2023

Although we think of our hands as being the most intricate and complex parts of our limbs, our feet have a few more intrinsic muscles than our hands. Explore the complexities of the bones, muscles, and tendons within the feet

22. Knee to Ankle: The Anatomical Leg

January 19, 2023

Continue the exploration of the knee joint, one of the most complex joints in the body. Examine the multiple bones and ligaments that allow for both movement of this hinge joint as well as stability. Learn about the ACL and why a tear in the meniscus takes so long to heal. Get to know the three muscle compartments that lie between the knee and ankle.

21. The Thigh: Our Largest Bone and Its Muscles

January 19, 2023

Continue your examination of the lower limbs with the femur, the body

20. The Multiplex Pelvis and Its Hip Joint

January 19, 2023

While the childhood hip bones are three separate bony elements with cartilaginous growth regions, the three regions are united into one single bone once the cartilage has ossified. The pelvis is a complex of the two hip bones as well as the sacrum and coccyx. Explore the multi-axial hip joints and the pelvis, where differences between the female and male skeleton are most obvious.

19. Nerve Plexuses of the Lower Limb

January 19, 2023

Explore the lumbar and sacral plexuses, those networks of interconnected nerves that control the muscles of the lower extremity and pelvic floor and that relay sensations from the lower limbs and genitalia. As part of the sacral plexus, you

17. The Hand and How It Works

January 19, 2023

Explore the architecture of the human hand, one of the most significant anatomical features that separates us from almost all other animal life. It

16. The Complexity of the Forearm and Wrist

January 19, 2023

Learn about our nearly 20 forearm muscles that cause wrist and finger movements, as well as the remarkable actions of our thumb. The ability to oppose the thumb with other digits in a grasping motion is one of the hallmarks of our primate lineage. The forearm is also home to muscles that allow us to turn our palms to face up or down, an action which actually occurs at the elbow.

15. Shoulder to Elbow: The Anatomical Arm

January 19, 2023

Explore the bones, muscles, and ligaments of the elbow, a complex region actually made up of three separate joints. Learn about the fascia of the arm and the cutaneous veins that provide the extra blood you can access in an emergency

14. The Shoulder: Mobility versus Stability

January 19, 2023

Explore the strengths and weaknesses of the human shoulder and the relationship of that joint to the anatomy of past primates who spent their lives swinging in the trees. Learn about the many bones and muscles that make up this complex and most mobile joint, and some of the ways in which it

13. The Brachial Plexus of the Upper Limb

January 19, 2023

Examine the brachial plexus, the network of nerves that relays signals from the spinal cord to the upper limb and that takes almost all sensations of that region to the central nervous system for processing. More complex than any other plexus of the somatic nervous system, its work is integral to our day-to-day living.

12. Digital Cadaver Lesson: Head, Neck, and Torso

January 19, 2023

While scientists have been examining cadavers for at least the past two millennia, anatomists today have the extraordinary tool of

11. Torso Muscles: Thoracic, Abdominal, and Pelvic

January 19, 2023

Explore the musculature of the torso

10. Back Muscles: Layering and Movements

January 19, 2023

Explore the muscles of the back in all their layered complexity. Learn which muscles

9. The Many Muscles of the Head and Neck

January 19, 2023

Discover the fascinating musculature of the face, muscles we rarely think about, but which allow us to communicate our most subtle emotions. Learn about muscles of the neck that direct our head movements. Examine the functions of some of our 12 pairs of cranial nerves and how they relate to muscles and sensations of the head and neck.

8. The Skeleton of the Head and Torso

January 19, 2023

When we think of our body

7. The Spine: Fundamentals of the Body

January 19, 2023

The body

6. The Role of the Nervous System in Movement

January 19, 2023

Begin to examine two of the primary divisions of the nervous system, the central and peripheral. Learn about the cranial nerves that govern functions in the head and neck and the spinal nerves that control skeletal muscles and receive sensations from the trunk and limbs.

5. Muscles as Systems for Motion and Support

January 19, 2023

Explore the three types of muscle tissue that move our bodies, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Learn the major functions of skeletal muscle, which not only moves our skeletal system but also keeps it still and stable, provides as much as 85% of our normal body heat, and regulates glycemic control.

4. The Terminology of Movement Patterns

January 19, 2023

Explore the six categories of our freely movable synovial joints, the fulcrums of our bodies

3. Joints: Structure Determines Function

January 19, 2023

When we consider our anatomical joints, we usually think of movement

2. Bones as the Body

January 19, 2023

Begin to explore the fascinating skeleton of the human body, the bones of the leverage systems that cause our movements. But did bones evolve for the purpose of moving an organism along? Or might bones have evolved as a response to a completely different need

1. The Essential Language of Anatomy

January 19, 2023

Welcome to the unique language of the body, where you
