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.

Lower Limb Quiz (2)

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.

Vascular and Nervous Limb Homology - ALL 9
Wednesday Mar 29, 2023
Wednesday Mar 29, 2023
A continuation of the theme of upper and lower limb homology in anatomy.
This podcast summarizes what we know about the development and the neurovascular and muscular similarities in the anatomy of the limbs.
I hope this teaching technique makes learning the practical anatomy of the limbs so much easier. I know that anatomy is not often considered in this manner but you will see that it rationalizes a lot of anatomy making it understandable, predictable and readily recalled. It is also useful for clinical examination and management.
Consider supporting us so that we can continue this important teaching work on

Thanks so much for your interest and support and above all enjoy your anatomy!
