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.

In this episode of The Anatomy Cupboard I explain why Charles Darwin left the esteemed Edinburgh Medical School in 1827. Without running into a number of other lapsed medicos he might well not have gone on his journey on The Beagle or even had an interest kindled in the science of evolution.

In this podcast there is further consideration of lower and upper limb homology.
The quadriceps, adductor and gluteal regions are considered. The discussion of the piriformis and obturator internus muscles will overlap with the podcast of the pelvis (2023).
I am in the process of converting this site into a subscriber website with anatomy, history of anatomy and The Anatomy Cupboard as separate podcasts. The site will include a lecture series on Anatomy and Art and on the History of Dissection as well as study cheat sheets and practice examinations. It is hoped that this site will be opened in the first part of 2023. In the meantime if you can contribute please do so to assist us in this endeavour at https://patron.podbean.com/ANATOPOD
Thanks so much and continue to enjoy your anatomy
