Welcome to a new and exciting Podcast called ANATOPOD designed to teach anatomy. ANATOPOD aims not just to teach anatomy well to a high and practical level but also to introduce the history of anatomy and dissection of the cadaver. I appreciate that anatomy is a visual tradition but it wasn't always like that. In the Renaissance, anatomy was taught from textbooks written by the Greek Galen in the first century A.D. Perhaps it might seem unusual to revert anatomy teaching to an aural basis but it is recognized too that in this modern age anatomy departments in universities all over the world are dispensing with their raision d’être, the cadaver, replacing it with surrogates and models. We still do not know the effects of this change on the care of our patients but what we do know is that the cadaver is part of our death culture as much as it touches so many other aspects of society at large.

AT6 The Anatomy of the Heart
Returned after a 4 week working break.
This podcast discusses the external and internal anatomy of the heart with consideration about how to dissect the cadaveric heart.
The next podcast includes the arterial supply and venous drainage of the heart as well as the conducting system and the anatomy of the posterior mediastinum.

AT4 - The Anatomy of the Mediastinum and the Diaphragm
This podcast subdivides the mediastinum explaining the clinical reasons behind such categorization. The anatomy and embryology of the diaphragm is discussed along with the genetics of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
The next podcast will consider the anatomy of the lungs, pleura and bronchopulmonary segments.

In this podcast I examine the osteology of the thoracic cage and the anatomical features governing thoracotomy and minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery. It is a grab-bag of extra areas not often covered in anatomy courses.
The next podcast will include the mediastinum, the lungs, pleura and bronchomediastinal segments.
Please make a contribution to our Patron system at:

An explanation of the history of developing a curriculum on how to examine a corpse.
If you ever wanted to know how we came to form the mechanisms and order of dissection, then this podcast is for you!
Next time we will examine how dissection came to be illustrated in Art and Anatomy Part 2 -"Picturing Bodies".

THE ANATOMY OF THE THORACIC WALL AT2
In this podcast I discuss the anatomy of the thoracic wall, its musculature and the intercostal space as well as approaches to the intercostal nerve and its blockade.
Next time we will consider thoracotomy approaches, the thoracic apertures, suprapleural membrane, diaphragm and its embryology (as well as the anatomy of congenital diaphragmatic hernia) and the relevant osteology (thoracic vertebrae, ribs, sternum). If you would like to help these productions please check out our patron (not patreon) site at:

and make a contribution. All gratefully acknowledged as it will help us to expand these podcasts over the next year. Vade mecum books (pocketbooks) are being produced of these podcasts and it is hoped that the first of these will be available towards the end of 2024.
See you on the next podcast

The Anatomy of the Thorax – AT1 - An Introduction
A simple introduction to our new area of study, the anatomy of the thorax.
A brief consideration of the embryological setup for the passage of intercostal and thoracoabdominal nerves and the intercostal neurovascular bundle structure.
In the next podcast I will discuss the thoracic wall and joints as well as the anatomical approaches in thoracotomy.

ALL 11 Lower Limb Quiz (2)
Here is an additional lower limb quiz for you.
Try and figure out why the answer(s) is (are) correct or false and ask yourself, what do I know about this subject and why is it important clinically?
Don’t worry! All is explained for you so that by the time you have gone through all the podcasts on the lower limb you should pretty well understand it all and recall it.
We will be creating a vade mecum (pocket book) print version book on each of the regions of the body with their separate units and quizzes along with simple schematic drawings that you can copy and practice all of which will help you understand and retain your anatomy much more easily.
There is a small hiatus now before we gear up for the anatomy of the thorax.
