Word of the Day: Facies Serrata
So started basic Anatomy today. Was fairly easy. We are starting with the forelimb and working our way around the appendicular skeleton first. The axial will begin next week I believe. We start Histology tomorrow, so should be quite fun. It was funny watching all of the students today. Many of them have no knowledge and no experience and are already freaking out about the exam that is in 6 weeks. I have a feeling that I will be locking myself in the dissection room until late at night for quite some time. I am slowly working my way to the muscle aspect of anatomy. There is quite a bit to know, but as time goes on and more lectures pass, I am sure I will learn it all. I wish I had my bobcat skeleton with me here so that I could study from it. I do have PLENTY of radiographs that I copied onto disks, so those are also helpful. Hope everyone is having a great week!

What does axial mean?
So what's the average age of your class? Don't some of them get in straight out of high school like James Herriott?
I am finding myself walking down memory lane as I read your note which is laced with latin based medical terminology. You are correct in that you can decipher any medical term if you break it apart into the latin roots. Anatomy was my all time favorite class. Hope you enjoy it as much :)
