Anatomy Class Projects
are on the Cutting Edge
Anatomy class is a place
where we really do have a
skeleton in the closet.
Brain
Dissection
Performed by
ambitious
students.
Scoping it
Out
Some work is done on live animals with
care taken to not endanger the animal
Anatomy
students
learn about
the origin of
stem cells
that produce
blood.
Maybe if we
look at it long
enough it will
dissect itself…
Careful teamwork makes a big
dissection more enjoyable when its
broken down to bite – sized pieces.
In Anatomy students learn about the
heart and imaging techniques used to
study it.
Many of us including
the teacher have a
personal interest in
learning Anatomy.
My mom is a heart
disease patient, a
condition that may
someday be treated by
stem cells.
Five years ago my mother had a
quadruple bypass which is shown in
this angiogram.
The object that
looks like a
vertical rope is
one of the
bypasses, a
saphenous
vein taken
from the leg.
Baseball legend
Lou Gehrig had a
career and life cut
short by
amyolateral
sclerosis, a disease
scientists hope will
be curable with stem
cells.
Now I challenge you to
research what stem cells
can do!
Even spinal cord injuries may one day be curable
with stem cells.
