Anatomy has long been a topic of interest amongst both those in medicine and those not. The understanding of biology, in terms of the function and structure of the organs and other structures of the body, has dramatically changed over time, and has been closely related to both scientific improvement and religious feeling. There is no doubt that gross anatomy is one of the preclinical cornerston...

Adult leatherback turtles are gigantothermic/endothermic when foraging in cool temperate waters, maintaining a core body temperature within the main body cavity of ca. 25 degrees C despite encountering surface temperatures of ca. 15 degrees C and temperatures as low as 0.4 degrees C during dives. Leatherbacks also eat very large quantities of cold, gelatinous prey (medusae and pyrosomas). We hy...

The celiac trunk is the major source of blood supply to the supracolic abdominal compartment. Usually, it branches into the splenic, common hepatic and left gastric arteries to supply this region. It has however been shown to display ethnic variations in its branching pattern. Knowledge of these variations may be important in surgical and radiological procedures around the head of the pancreas....

Since the discovery of the glomera coccygica in man by Luschka in 1859, a number of papers were published dealing with the anatomy of this peculiar organ. However, most of these research works are concerned with the microscopic structure of the coccygeal bodies. The knowledge in its macroscopic anatomy has made scarcely any progress ever since the classical reports of Luschk a. Some years ago, ...

BACKGROUND Many fundamental questions regarding the blood supply to the integument of the rat remain to be clarified, namely the degree of homology between rat and humans. The aim of this work was to characterize in detail the macro and microvascular blood supply to the integument covering the ventrolateral aspect of the abdominal wall of the rat. METHODS Two hundred five Wistar male rats wei...

aortic dissection occurs when a tear develops in the wall of the aorta, which is rare in the young population. this fatal disorder is hard to diagnose, especially in young patients. we present the case of aortic dissection in a 15-year-old boy referred to the emergency department of yazd university of medical sciences in november 2015. the patient presented to our department with sudden acute c...

conclusions with the increase in interventional procedures in cardiology, iatrogenic pathology of the aorta is seen more frequently, and every cardiologist should know how to diagnose and treat this group of diseases. evidence acquisition our search strategy involved an investigation in the pubmed database for every available article in peer reviewed journals between 1975 and 2015, for subjects...

background: understanding some part of the human body such as serous membrane, peritoneal cavity, lesser sac and proper mesentery is difficult for medical students. the objective of this study was to determine the effect of animal dissection on improving medical student knowledge and view related viscera and serous membrane anatomy. methods: in yums in 2011, sixty eight medical students were ra...
