What should I consider when

studying the anatomy of an organ?

Using the uterus as an example…..

1. Function

Provides site for development of embryo and foetus

2. Location/ Anatomical relations

Located in lesser pelvis (non-pregnant)

Which structures lie next to the uterus?• Anteriorly & posteriorly• Laterally• Superiorly & inferiorly

3. Gross anatomy

(Moore & Dalley, 2006)

Consider• Size & shape• Parts• Position• Ligaments

Walls of the uterus

- Endometrium

- Myometrium

5. Neurovascular supply

• Which arteries supply the uterus & where do they arise?

• Which veins drain the uterus and what vessel do they drain into?

Histology Studies

• Two histology modules this semester– Female reproductive system– Male reproductive system

• Find on Onemed learn• Series of videos, questions and

directions for self viewing of digitalised slides

• Drop-in sessions to answer questions– Thursday 14th October 5pm– Thursday 11th November 5pm

Anatomy study

• Be realistic in your expectations of yourself• Don’t expect to know everything after the first read

• Be organised - develop an anatomy routine

• Study everyday for a fixed period of time

• Cover each topic a number of times using different methods – see weekly plan

• Think logically, look for patterns, consider terminology, relevance

• Look up words that you don’t understand

• Adhere to weekly anatomy plan
