#tiggesanatomy Tap/click on my head below to see prep instructions for tomorrow’s Dissection # 2: The Knee.

Every single one of the “Virtual Dissections” where we explore anatomy using cross sectional images works the same way. First, we do the pre-class prep work. To get to the pre-class comic, video, “click on target” quiz and goals/objectives for Dissection # 2, follow these instructions:

  1. Enter xraycomix.com (with an “x”, not a “cs” at the end of comix) in your browser.
  2. If using a phone, tap on the 3 parallel lines at upper left, this will open the menu.
  3. On the menu, tap/click “M1: Human Anatomy/Virtual Dissections”.
  4. To access the comic, scroll down to the comics and tap/click on the second comic in the list.
  5. To access the video, scroll down to the videos and tap/click on the second video in the list.
  6. To access the “click on target” quiz, scroll down to the “click on target” quizzes and tap/click on the second “click on target” quiz in the list. These work better on a desktop.

Click.

#tiggesanatomy Finally, it’s time to look at images! We start with normal images from the visible human in the sagittal plane. Then we look at some normal MRI images, followed by some abnormal cases. I will link to/upload these images shortly.

#tiggesanatomy Then it’s time to check out the goals and objectives for the session, i.e. what the students are supposed to be looking for, click

here.

#tiggesanatomy Then I draw (badly) a vertebra, making sure that the students draw along with me. Having them draw helps them retain the information better.
