| "Learn by
Heart." The
ancient Greeks believed that the heart, the most noticeable internal organ,
was the seat of intelligence and memory as well as emotion. This
belief was passed on down the ages and became the basis for the English
expression "learn by heart," which is used by Chaucer (1374) and must have
been proverbial long before that. "To record" reminds again of this
ancient belief in the heart as the seat of the mind. When writing
wasn't a simple act, things had to be memorized; thus we have the word
record, formed from the Latin re, "again," and cor, "heart,"
which means exactly the same as to learn by heart. [Source: :LWW.com] |

How did
it get that name?
Carotid
Artery. The ancients knew that if you pressed the arteries
leading to the head long enough, unconsciousness would result. Thus
they named these arteries karotides, from the Greek karoun,
to stupefy. Karotide later became carotid in English. (Source:

LAB QUIZ 4 on the previous lab will be
administered at the start of lab.
Are Anatomical Models
Always Accurate?
I would never assume that
the Somso and other anatomical models are correct. For example -- unless
I am misinterpreting something -- all of my torso models (the typical 3/4-
or full-scale model from head to pelvis, with removal thoracic and abdominal
viscera) show the jugular veins incorrectly. They show two large veins
converging near the angle of the mandible, as if the internal and external
jugulars anastomose there in parallel to the branching of the internal
and external carotids. Maybe I'm just stupidly overlooking something obvious,
but it looks to me like the model designer falsely assumed that the jugular
veins would follow the same pattern as the carotid arteries. I do have
a Somso head model that has the jugulars correct and shows them much differently
than the torso models do. Things like this are enough to shake one's confidence
in anatomical models and never to take them as unquestionably authoritative.

Liver Trivia
(from
LWW.com)
-
The average
human liver is more than five times the weight of the human heart. The
liver stretches across almost the width of the body, occupying a space
about the size of a football. It weighs more than 3 pounds.
-
If 80
percent of your liver were to be removed, the remaining part would continue
to function. Within a few months, the liver would have reconstituted itself
to its original size.

| One easy way to remember which abdominopelvic
organs are retroperitoneal is to use a mnemonic such as SAD PUCKER:
S = Suprarenal (adrenal) glands
A = Aorta/Inferior Vena Cava
D = Duodenum (second and third segments)
P = Pancreas
U = Ureters
C = Colon (ascending and descending only)
K = Kidneys
E = Esophagus
R = Rectum
Or instead,
Ursula Uses Kids to Deliver All Lemon
Pies except Sue’s Tasty Crust
Ureters
Urinary bladder
Kidneys
Duodenum
Adrenal glands
Large intestine
Pancreas
except (not retroperitoneal) Sigmoid and
Transverse Colon

| Thyroid. The thyroid
cartilage, or Adam's Apple, which protects the throat, was named for its
resemblance to the shields of Homeric warriors, deriving from the Greek
work for "shield" or "shield-shaped." It gave its name to the thyroid gland
that straddles the windpipe. The term is first recorded in 1693. [from

LAB QUIZ 7 on the previous lab

Lung function values are
influenced by height, age, and sex. Consequently, to compare pulmonary
function among different individuals, percent predicted values can
be determined from the following equations (A = age in yr, and H = height
in cm): Forced vital capacity = FVC.
FVC males: 0.0844(H)
- 0.0298(A) - 8.782
FVC females: 0.0427(H)

administered at the start of lab.
Renal
segmental vessels: Arteries yes. Veins, no.
Gray's Anatomy, for
one, recognizes segmental arteries but denies the existence of segmental
veins (38e p. 1827). Gartner & Hiatt's Color Textbook of Histology
(1e p. 374) says "Note the absence of lobar and segmental veins in contrast
with the arterial system of the kidney." Hollinshead's Textbook of Anatomy
(5e
p. 615-616) describes the segmental arteries and then explicitly states
that the kidneys do not have segmental veins. Clement's Anatomy
illustrates and labels the segmental arteries, and illustrates the venous
drainage without identifying or showing any segmental veins. Fawcett's
Textbook
of Histology (12e, p. 753-754) describes the segmental arteries but
conspicuously omits segmental veins from its detailed description of the
venous drainage. Bailey's Textbook of Microscopic Anatomy (18e p.
671) also describes the venous drainage in reasonable detail, with no mention
of segmental veins. -- Dr. Ken Saladin June, 2005 |

Tutorial
"Specific
gravity (which
is directly proportional to urine osmolality which measures solute concentration)
measures
urine density, or the ability of the kidney to concentrate or dilute the
urine over that of plasma. Dipsticks are available that also
measure specific gravity in approximations. Most laboratories measure
specific gravity with a refractometer.
Specific gravity between
1.002 and 1.035 on a random sample should be considered normal if kidney
function is normal. Since the sp gr of the glomerular filtrate
in Bowman's space ranges from 1.007 to 1.010, any measurement below this
range indicates hydration and any measurement above it indicates relative
dehydration."
"Less than 0.1% of glucose
normally
filtered by the glomerulus appears in urine (< 130 mg/24 hr).
Glycosuria (excess sugar in urine) generally means diabetes mellitus. Dipsticks
employing the glucose oxidase reaction for screening are specific for glucos
glucose but can miss other reducing sugars such as galactose and fructose.
For this reason, most newborn and infant urines are routinely screened
for reducing sugars by methods other than glucose oxidase (such as the
Clinitest, a modified Benedict's copper reduction test)."

LAB QUIZ 10 on the previous lab will
be administered at the start of lab.
Wasserman
test:
Many
medical tests, including the Pap test for cancer and the Schick test for
diphtheria, are named for the physicians who devised them. The Wasserman
test was invented in 1906 by August von Wasserman (1866-1925), a German
physician and bacteriologist. This laboratory blood test for the diagnosis
of syphilis, also known as the cardiolipin test, has been perfected to
the point where it is 99 percent effective on normal persons. The test
is based on the presence of antibodies in the blood. In most cases a positive
Wasserman reveals that the patient has syphilis, although vaccination procedures
and several diseases, such as leprosy, also produce a positive Wasserman.
August von Wasserman, who began his career as a physician in Strasbourg,
won international fame for his discovery. He became director of Berlin's
Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in 1913. Source:
