Hiya! After a long break, my Come Dissect With Me posts are back! This time, we delved into the delights of the abdominal cavity. The very first thing that we had to do was to open up the body wall. Since the thorax had proved to be such a difficult task to open (all those… Continue reading Come Dissect With Me #5 // The Abdominal Cavity

Come Dissect With Me #4 // The Joints
Hiya! This week's dissection was my most favourite one of them all. We were exploring the joints of the body, more specifically the hip and the knee.

Since very few medical schools offer full body dissection in the UK, it’s always pushed as a ‘perk of the curriculum’. As much as I love it, here are a few truths about cadaveric… Continue reading Come Dissect with Me // The Truth about Dissection
