The list includes all the structures you will see in lab and for which you may be tested on the lab practical.
Most structures are linked to SketchFab XR resources demonstrating the structure and its relational anatomy. You may find it helpful to preview these structures prior to lab or review these structures after lab. You may scroll through the labels to learn more about the relevant anatomy.
Respiratory system
1. Upper respiratory tract
Nasal cavity (Question: What type of epithelium lines most of the respiratory system?)
Oropharynx and Oral Cavity (Question: What are the boundaries between the naso- and oropharynx, the oro- and laryngopharynx?)
Laryngopharynx (What is its relationship to the larynx?)
2. Larynx: (What is its relationship to the thyroid gland?)
4. Lungs: (What is their relationship to the heart and thoracic cavity?)
5. Effects of smoking on lungs (Evidence of tar buildup, emphysema, or neoplasms?)
6. Muscles of Respiration
Diaphragm (What is the relationship to the pericardium?)
External intercostal mm. (Fibers run inferomedially – ‘hands in pockets’)
Internal intercostal mm. (Fibers superomedially – ‘look at these nails!’)
Urinary System
7. Overview:
8. Kidney gross morphology:
