Museum Annexe (refer to map on page 10 of this worksheet)

The museum annexe contains displays that will give you a general introduction to the anatomy and pathology of the human body. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with the way the specimens are displayed.

The Musculoskeletal System

Activity One

Anatomical Principles:

a) Familiarise yourself with the various anatomical terms and principles displayed in cabinet 36.

Vertebral Column:

View the cross-sections in cabinet 36C and note the thick deep vertebral muscles, supporting the spinal column.

b) Indicate with an arrow, the deep vertebral muscles on the image of the specimen below. Similarly, circle the thindispersed muscles that surround the thoracic and abdominal walls:

Activity Two

Bones & Joints:

View the developing humerus in cabinet 37D and identify the epiphyseal lines. These epiphyseal lines can also be viewed as epiphyseal plates on the juvenile skeletons in this museum.

a) What does the epiphyseal plate represent in the developing skeleton? _______________________________________

b) What does the epiphyseal line represent in the adult skeleton? ____________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

c) What types of joints can be viewed in cabinet 36A? _____________________________________________________

d) What movements would be allowed at each of the joints listed above: _______________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Activity Three

Muscles:

a) List the three different muscle types that can be found in the human body (see cabinet 36B):

1) _______________________________________

2) _______________________________________

3) _______________________________________

b) Examine the different types of skeletal muscle shapes in cabinet 36B. Name each type of muscle shape and give anexample of each:

1) ________________________________________________________________________________

2) ________________________________________________________________________________

3) ________________________________________________________________________________

4) ________________________________________________________________________________

5) ________________________________________________________________________________

6) ________________________________________________________________________________

Activity Four

Cardiovascular System:

a) Cabinet 35B displays an Upper Limb specimen (100362) with veins exposed. What do you think the bumps in theveins represent?

______________________________________________________________________________________________

b) Why would the veins appear darker in colour than arteries? _______________________________________________

Activity Five

Vertebral Column:

a) Refer to the vertebral columns in cabinet 22C and examine the curvatures of the spine. Note the lumbar and thoracic

curvatures – are these primary or secondary curvatures?

Lumbar: __________________________________________________

Thoracic: _________________________________________________

b) See Specimen 100195 on top of cabinet 22A. Can you view the intervertebral discs in between each vertebra? Indicate with an arrow on the image below:

Activity Six

Bones & Joints:

View the Tramond models of the shoulder joint in cabinet 22A. These models are made from real bone, with horse-hair and resin forming the tendons, ligaments and capsule.

a) What type of joint is the shoulder and which movements are permitted? ______________________________________

b) See specimen 100366 in cabinet 20D to view a cross section of the shoulder joint.

c) View the articulated skeletal hands in cabinet 21A. Note the many bones (carpals) that make up the hand.

d) View the Tramond models of the knee joint in cabinet 24C. What type of joint is the knee joint and which movements are permitted?

__________________________________________________________________________________

e) You can view the bones of the foot (metacarpals) in cabinet 25A.

Activity Seven

Muscles:

a) Label the superficial muscles of the back on specimen 100199 below (view specimen in the 'Back Bay'):

View the deep, more longitudinal muscles of the back on specimen 100197, located on the top of cabinet 22A.

b) Identify the different muscle groups of the lower limb specimen in cabinet 24B. Label the groups on the image below:

Activity Eight

Nervous control of muscles:

A plexus of nerves supplies the Upper Limb muscles, the Brachial Plexus, specimen 102433 in cabinet 21B.

a) Can you locate these nerves in the large specimen to the right of this cabinet, specimen ‘496’? Label the followingstructures on the diagram below:

A) AortaB) HeartC) Brachial plexusD) A nerveE) Muscle

b) View specimen 100321 in cabinet 25A. What is the large nerve running down the back of the leg? ________________

c) View specimen 481 also in cabinet 24B. Note the nerve exiting the pelvis, running down the anterior aspect of the thigh and branching out to supply this muscle group. Can you name this major nerve running down the front of the thigh?

Cardiovascular & Respiratory Systems

Activity Nine

The following question relates to specimen 100106 in the 'Thorax

Bay':

A

B

This specimen is a dissection showing structures in the neck and upper part of the thorax. The structure at the back is the spinal column. Also dissected are: the aorta (main artery from the heart) and trachea (‘windpipe’).

a) Identify the following structures (from image above):

A) B)

b) What are the four chambers of the heart?

1) _____________________________________

2) _____________________________________

3) _____________________________________

4) _____________________________________

c) Label the chambers in the following diagram and show the direction of blood flow through the heart (use arrows toindicate flow direction):

Activity Ten

The lungs are made of functionally separate lobes. These lobes are serviced by air passages formed by bronchii.

a) Label the trachea or ‘windpipe’, primary, secondary and tertiary bronchii on the diagram below:

b) View the different lungs in the 'Thorax Bay' and see if you can identify the different lobes on each.

In addition to the above activities, we recommend you spend some time exploring the following displays in the remaining time:

Respiratory System: cabinets 4A – 4C plus cabinets 5 and 6.

Cardiovascular System: cabinets 5 and 6 plus cabinets 7A – 7C.

Musculoskeletal System bays on the right-hand side of the museum.
