"If you can assign function to a nerve, then you know what the hell is going on"

😀 Too bad I usually can't do that (yet).

I like this one too:

"If you ever want to feel like an ignoramous, the brachial plexus is a good place to do it"

This was actually supplied by a classmate.

1) There are so many nerves.

2) "...know what the hell is going on" I don't know what this means. If you know what the nerve does, then you'll know what it's doing. Was the professor talking about peripheral nerves? Or was he referring to what's happening in the class?

😕

From a hardened disection partner when I started freaking out while holding our cadaver's hand/arm out of the way so we could make a mid axilary incision:

"Come on! It's just a person!"

I feel like thats all i've learned in gross so far is nerves and muscles. We've only done the back, shoulder and upper limb, though, so I'm hoping it gets better.

First we have to get through the lower limb, which has another damn plexus. 😀

"You no longer 'cut'...you 'incise'"

Oh and another one--after cutting the first rib on our cadaver fluid started pouring out of our incision (it turned out that our right lung was poorly preserved and had nearly liquified) We asked our anatomy professor about it, and he jokingly told us...

"Ah, pneumothorax...looks like you've got your first malpractice case on your hands!"

haha...true enough....but we used "rib cutters" to get through the bone...so I think I can say "cut" there....anything with a scalpel is an incision though... 😀

Here's a good one too, what a Professor said when he asks questions and no one answers:

"If you want to be an idiot, be a thundering idiot!!"

[In reference to opening the thorax]

Professor: "We don't do it like that in West-by-God-Virginia"

Student: "West-by-God-Virginia...?"

Professor: "Try to say it with a little more enthusiasm!"

Student: "IN WEST-BAH-GAWD-VIRGINNY!"

I took an anatomy course over the summer. When my group found the deltoid ligament of the foot and called the prof over to check it out, he freaked out and started saying "that is too good to be true, let me consult the lab manual."
