INTRODUCTION

Preparation. The key to success in this lab is preparation! Prior to each lab you should prepare by completing the reading assignments and the written lab manual exercises, studying the appropriate tables and figures in your books and syllabus, and writing out definitions to terms to know in your syllabus. An appropriate definition in anatomy and physiology will often include information on the location, structure and function of a particular structure or the effectors, dynamics, and regulation of a particular process or function.

It is strongly suggested that you enroll in BIOL 237 and 247L concurrently. These are two components of the same course. They are designed to complement and reinforce one another in course content. In any case you are well advised to purchase and use the textbook for BIOL 237, or a comparable up-to-date text, in addition to the lab manual for reference, review, and terminology.


 

This Lab utilizes WebCT for assignments and online quizzes, as well as many other resources. 


Student Equipment. We suggest that you purchase a blunt probe and you must purchase vinyl examination gloves to use with the cadavers. You will not be able to effectively study anatomy on the cadavers without them. Both of these items are available at either of the UNM bookstores. You will need around 15 pairs of vinyl gloves over the course of the semester. We suggest that you purchase a number of these and carry them in your book bag so that you do not forget them. Many students purchase lab coats. Cadaver work can leave stains and odors on clothing. Lab coats can be purchased at the North Campus bookstore or at uniform or medical supply stores around Albuquerque.

Lab Materials. Cadaver study will be a vital part of your education. They give a three-dimensional perspective and allow hands-on learning that simply cannot be obtained from diagrams. Due to the cost of using cadavers, many schools have eliminated them from their curricula. Since we use four cadavers for around 500 students each semester, special care must be taken to preserve them as well as our other materials. Do NOT use pencils and pens as probes as these will mark and damage the specimens. The markings around the foramina of our teaching skeletons are evidence of the abuses of the students that came before you. Do not use the labels on the cadavers as handles because many of the structures are fragile and will tear. The cadavers must be kept moist with wetting solution at all times and they should be covered when not in use. Please be conscientious in spraying and wrapping cadavers for the benefit of all students using them.

Obviously, with this many students using so few cadavers we cannot actually dissect the cadavers in this class. The dissections are done by students enrolled in a biology class called Prosection (BIOL 447). If you would like to study anatomy in greater detail after taking this course, you are invited to apply for enrollment in prosection. See the course coordinator for further information and an enrollment application.

Special caution must also be taken when using microscopes. With the financial condition of the University, what microscopes we have are very difficult to replace. Take care when carrying microscopes. Be careful not to jam the lenses onto the slides, and be sure that you use only oil on the oil-immersion lenses and lens cleaning paper on the lenses. The prepared histological slides are also expensive and easily broken. Be careful that you do not drop them or jam the lenses down onto them. Partially as a response to these problems we have developed the Virtual Microscope�, an online tutorial and collection of microscope slides from your laboratory which are available in the laboratory and to any computer with an internet connection.


  To make it easier to study outside of the lab many of the models and specimens used are pictured in WebLab, an interactive tutorial similar in format to the Virtual Microscope�

Examinations. Questions for examinations will be drawn from laboratory exercises from the lab manual, lab lectures given by your TA, and reading assignments from the text. Use this syllabus as a guide of the depth of knowledge required in this class. The "Terms to Know" lists are the minimal level of knowledge required for a passing grade. Many of the terms will be found in the text listed for BIOL 237.

Enough lecturing! You have begun what will prove to be a fascinating study of human structure and function. This lab will require considerable effort but the payoff will be great. Many students have said that this course is one of the most interesting and rewarding courses that they have ever taken. Enjoy!

PRECAUTIONS & REQUIRED MATERIALS

PRECAUTIONS:

Cadavers are preserved with a solution of formalin (which produces formaldehyde in water) and phenol, intended to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Both of these are toxic and extended exposure should be avoided. The effect of formalin is mostly as an irritant in the respiratory system and mucous membranes. Although formalin is a suspected carcinogen, studies have not shown it to be mutagenic or teratogenic, i.e., it has not been shown to cause cellular mutations or birth defects. Phenol is a caustic substance that also can burn the skin and mucous membranes.

The wetting solution used in our cadaver lab does not contain these substances. Instead it contains phenoxyethanol and glycerin in water. These substances retard growth of microorganisms while helping to reduce the dessication of tissues. Phenoxyethanol is toxic when ingested.

Exposure to all of these should be limited in the following ways:

1) Gloves and protective clothing: gloves should be worn at all times when using the cadavers to avoid skin exposure. Students must provide their own gloves. Students should wear a lab coat to protect skin and clothing from contamination and stains.

2) Proper ventilation should be maintained by keeping the exhaust system on high when the cadavers are in use, and using a fan to circulate air over the cadavers. If close work with the cadavers results in burning sensation of the nose or eyes, cease the exposure. Pull back away from the specimen, adjust the air flow, or take a break to get some fresh air.

3) Students wearing contact lenses may find it necessary to remove them when working in the cadaver lab. Permeable contact lenses may absorb formalin and cause irritation to the eyes.

If you have any condition that might be affected by exposure to any of the above agents, or which may affect your lab participation in any way, do the following:

1) Notify your lab instructor: your instructor can advise you of ways to minimize the impact on lab work. Also, your lab instructor can be prepared for any situation that might arise.

2) Consult your physician: your physician can give you the best information on what effect the preservatives, etc., may have on your condition and help you to make an informed choice regarding continued participation in the lab.

TEXTS AND OTHER REQUIRED/OPTIONAL MATERIALS

Required: Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual, Elaine Marieb, 6th Edition. All references in this syllabus are to the above.

Strongly Suggested but Optional:

*1)  Adam Interactive Anatomy Student Lab Guide. Benjamin-Cummings. This is available bundled with the above laboratory manual at a substantial savings off the individual price.

2) Anatomy Coloring Book, Kapit & Elson;

In addition to the above lab manual, students are required to purchase gloves for use in the cadaver lab and with other preserved specimens. Gloves may be obtained at the medical bookstore or at pharmacies, surgical supply stores, etc. Several students can usually split one box of gloves for the entire semester, bringing a pair or two each week for use in the lab. Students are advised to wear a lab coat to protect skin and clothing from contamination and stains; these may be purchased at the bookstore or at uniform shops, etc. Drawing paper and pencils are advised (see instructor for types preferred) for in-lab histology drawings.

Interactive Anatomy

ADAM Interactive Anatomy is a computer program for studying anatomy of the human body. It will be used as an supplement in the laboratory and is available on the laboratory computers. It is also available online to all students who have purchased a new copy of Human Anatomy and Physiology 6th Edition, by Marieb. Students may also purchase the student version as a CD ROM for use at home. Where you see the above symbol you will find general directions for what to study. Use of the Adam Interactive Anatomy Student Lab Guide will allow students to follow a more precise plan in their study.

Interactive Physiology

ADAM Interactive Physiology consists of 7 CD ROM disks on each of the major body systems. It is available budled with the course textbook or independently. Disks will also be available for student use in the laboratory.

Powerpoint Presentations

Each laboratory session will normally begin with a Powerpoint� presentation illustrating the tissues and organ system to be studied. These presentations are available on the web at: http://biology.unm.edu/anatomy/ppt.htm 

Also linked to this page are histology and pathology slides, lecture class notes, and this manual.

MECHANICS OF MUSCLE FUNCTION

A skeletal muscle acts by contracting, or shortening, thereby pulling one of the bones to which it is attached (the insertion) closer to the other bone to which it is attached (the origin). For example, the brachialis originates on the humerus and inserts on the ulna. When it contracts, it pulls the ulna closer to the humerus, or flexes the forearm.

All muscles cross at least one joint, and it is only at this joint that the muscle can create movement. The brachialis, for example, can generate movement only at the elbow joint. Some muscles cross two joints and can therefore create movement at two different joints. The rectus femoris originates on the anterior part of the pelvic girdle and inserts on the anterior proximal tibia, so it crosses both the hip and knee joints. It can either flex the thigh or extend the lower leg, depending on which other muscles are contracting at the same time.

Since joints can be moved in more than one direction, there must be muscles on more than one side of the joint to give it a full range of movement. The brachialis crosses the anterior side of the elbow joint and when it contracts, the elbow is flexed. To extend the elbow joint, another muscle is needed on the opposite side of the joint; this muscle is the triceps brachii which crosses the posterior side of the elbow. The brachialis and triceps brachii are said to be antagonistic muscles because they pull the forearm in opposite directions. The hip joint is capable of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction; to create these movements there must be muscles crossing the anterior, posterior, medial and lateral sides of the joint.

A simple way to figure out the action of any muscle is to look at the origin, insertion and joint and determine what kind of motion is created at the joint when the insertion is pulled closer to the origin. You should be able to do this with all the muscles you study during the next few weeks.

On the next page is a list of origins and insertions for some hypothetical muscles. Using a skeleton or your own body as a model, figure out the action each muscle would have. Use a cut rubber band with one end placed on the origin and the other end on the insertion. Observe the movement which occurs when the insertion moves toward the origin. Some muscles may have more than one action. Definitions of the different kinds of actions can be found in the textbook.

Muscles are named according to characteristics such as shape, location (often origin to insertion), action, structure and size. Use the name to help remember where the muscle is and what it does.

ORIGIN INSERTION ACTION
Thoracic vertebrae Occipital
Sternum Mandible
Anterior ribs Proximal end of humerus
Dorsal side of radius Dorsal side of metacarpals
Ventral side of ulna Ventral side of third phalanx
Posterior side of pelvic girdle Posterior side of fibula
Posterior side of femur Calcaneus
Anterior side of tibia Dorsal side of metatarsals


































Fill in the ACTION column with the action(s) each muscle would have.

KEY TO MUSCLE ORIGINS AND INSERTIONS

Use the skeleton figures which follow to help identify the location and action for each muscle. Color the point(s) of origin of each muscle red and their insertions blue. Draw lines to indicate the shape of muscle connecting origin with insertion. Use additional photocopies to avoid overlapping muscles.

1. models of the torso, arm and leg

2. cadavers

3. skeletons and skeleton diagrams

4. tables in lab guide

5. rubber bands or string

B. Procedures

1. Identify muscles and locations on models, on one another and on the cadavers.

2. Use skeletons and skeleton diagrams to identify origins, insertions and actions; suggestions:

a. use rubber bands with articulated bones, placing ends at origin and insertion and shorten the band to simulate the muscle's action.

b. use skeleton diagrams to draw muscles, coloring origins red and insertions blue. (You'll need to xerox more skeletons.)

3. Use guides as described to discern action of muscle when given its origin and insertion. (Suggestion: Test some known muscles in this way.)

A. Materials:

1. models of the torso, arm and leg

2. cadavers

3. skeletons and skeleton diagrams

4. tables in lab guide

5. rubber bands or string

B. Procedures

1. Identify muscles and locations on models, on one another and on the cadavers.

2. Use skeletons and skeleton diagrams to identify origins, insertions and actions; suggestions:

a. use rubber bands with articulated bones, placing ends at origin and insertion and shorten the band to simulate the muscle's action.

b. use skeleton diagrams to draw muscles, coloring origins red and insertions blue. (You'll need to xerox more skeletons.)

3. Use guides as described to discern action of muscle when given its origin and insertion. (Suggestion: Test some known muscles in this way.)

Interactive Anatomy

From Dissectible Anatomy, Male, Posterior, adjust the image so that the posterior right arm is filling your view. Select Layer Indicator 9, and identify the muscles shown. You may have to scroll up or down to see all the muscles. Next switch to the Anterior view, Layer Indicator 20 and do the same. In each view practice dissecting through various layers to see how the muscles, vessels, nerves, etc. are arranged.

Adjust the image seen above so that the chest/abdominal muscles fill the screen. Identify the muscles seen. You may have to scroll up or down to see the chest and abdominal muscles. Page through the layers from 20 to 28, and identify the additional muscles seen. Continue until you reach layer 167, to identify the diaphragm, and 200 to identify the psoas major and iliacus muscles

Next go to the Posterior View, Layer 10, and identify the muscles. Increase the Layer Indicator to Layer 12 and identify the muscles which have now appeared.
