Dissection today was really really fun. Owned all the other Aussies at anatomy and probably managed to find the thoracic duct! Impressive considering the duct is really fragile and thin, and ripped easily. Too much muck in the way still, couldn't expose the duct fully and check out the venous angle.
Sutured back 3 pieces of lung together too, my goodness that was really fun. Ben, my anatomy tutor was like helping me to oppose the edges of the pieces together so that I can suture properly. I think I've almost finish suturing together the left inferior lobe save one last piece. More to come for next tutorial!
Yes and I forgot to mention, I also sutured a chunk of left ventricle wall back onto the heart. Now it opens out like a door. =D What a beauty!
Hmmm cadaveric lung tissue sure is fragile, dunno if its the same with a living person. But its really good suturing practice, and I think I can confidently do sutures quickly now.
Going off for fencing soon! Cutting up the dead in the afternoon, destroying the living in the evening. I live such a morbid life, and I love it. =D
