• Complete Laboratory Disclosure Form Canvas assignment
Goals of the In-person Orientation session
1. Locate your Anatomy lab & table
2. Meet your dissection partner
3. Obtain appropriate PPE
• Lab coat (upon entry to labs), eye protection, & gloves
4. Log on to computer, and access this PPT
5. Meet your donor, and perform visual & palpation inspection
6. Meet your Anatomy faculty members
7. Explore dissection instruments
8. Clean station
1. Locate Anatomy table
• You are assigned an anatomy table for the entire year
• ___ - ___
• Example: 2-4
• 2 indicates which lab the table is in
• 4 indicates actual table number
• So in this case, go to Lab 2, and find table 4!
• You must have this information to participate!
2. Meet your dissection partner
• You will have a dissection partner that should stay the same
throughout the year! This is who is with you right now!
• Exchange information as you may need to communicate with them
throughout the year!
• Absences, questions, etc.
• It is your responsibility to participate in lab, to support your partner. If you
cannot participate, please work with your group to ensure your partner is
supported.
• Can find a student to swap labs with you
2. Communication for donor team
• There will be a document at your table Example Google Doc for the donor team:
for ALL individuals assigned to the
donor to give contact information
(name; email address).
• The last group (2B; meeting at 4-5pm)
will have the responsibility of reaching
out to all team members to set up a
standard form of communication for all
those assigned to this donor.
• We have found that a simple Google Doc
can work well.
Variable labs as
needed Dr. Andrew Cristina Prall
throughout the Barnosky
year:
7. Tools: forceps (‘pick-ups’)
• Toothed forceps
• Uses:
• Grasping larger, more robust
tissues (skin, dense fascia,
tendons, larger
neurovasculature)
• Serrated forceps
• Uses:
• Grasping more delicate issues
7. Tools
• Hemostat (‘clamps’)
• Uses:
• Typically used to ‘close’
structures during surgery
• Locking mechanism gives extra
security
• Probe
• Uses:
• Exploration without cutting
7. Tools: Scissors
• Curved scissors
• Uses:
• Poking through and separating
tissues
• Straight scissors
• Uses:
• Poking through and separating
tissues
• Usually most reliable scissor
when actual cutting is needed
7. Tools
• Scalpel handle (#4)
• Uses:
• To fit with a scalpel blade
• Occasionally can be used
(without blade) for exploratory
reasons
• Bone shears
• Uses:
• Smaller scale bone cutting (such
as ribs)
• Hammer
• Uses:
• Assisting chisel in cutting through
hard materials
7. What to do in case of injury
• While anatomical donors are screened for infectious diseases and embalmed and do
not carry the same risks of body substance exposure, in the event of injury or
exposure, contact OHS
