Anatomy for Beginners

The theme of this dissection was movement. The body was opened to reveal the muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones that interact to make up the mechanics of movement. Also revealed were the brain and spinal cord that drive and coordinate movement along with peripheral nerves that convey instructions from the central controllers to the muscles.

The theme of this dissection was digestion. This demonstration uncovered the organs that carry food through the body, from the mouth to the anus, taking in various different portions of the digestive tract (also know as the gut or intestine). It also revealed the organs that support the gut in digesting food, like the liver and pancreas, together with those that help remove waste products from the body fluids, like the kidneys.
