Welcome

• This PowerPoint presentation is a tour of the
  anatomy and physiology facility at Phoenix
  College, Phoenix, Arizona. The facility was
  constructed as part of a new science building in
  2000.

Topics Covered

• Facilities
• Cadaver Lab
• Anatomy and Physiology Lab
• How the Facilities are Used

3
Cadaver Lab
South End of Lab
North End of Lab

• The cadaver lab is used for cadaver
  demonstrations and for individual student
  examination of the cadavers.

West Side of Lab

South End of the Cadaver Lab

• The cadaver in the black bag is on a table (blue
  arrow). The cadaver is surrounded by a raised
  platform with a railing. Students can stand
  around the cadaver on the lower level while
  students on the upper level look over them.

5
Camera and Monitors

• A camera (red arrow) on a movable arm is
  suspended over the cadaver. The camera projects
  to two 32 inch flat screen TV monitors (blue
  arrows).

6
North End of the Cadaver Lab

• Camera (red arrow) and TV monitors (blue arrows)
  as seen from the raised platform.

7
Moving the Cadavers

• There is room for four tables on the north end of
  the lab. The cadaver under the camera can be can
  be swapped (blue arrow) for any of the other
  cadavers. Supine versus prone cadavers and
  superficial versus deep dissections can be moved
  into the viewing area.

8
Cadaver Viewing Area

• Over the cadaver a camera (blue arrow) and
  surgical light (red arrow) are mounted on movable
  arms.

9
Camera Arm Slide

• The camera arm is connected to a slide (blue
  arrows), which is oriented parallel to the
  cadaver. The slide allows the camera to be
  position anywhere from the head to the foot of
  the cadaver.

10
Camera Arm Movement

• The camera can be lowered for close-up views and
  raised for overviews (blue arrows). The camera
  is shown at its lowest position.

11
Entry to the Lab

• Entry from an AP lab into the cadaver lab (blue
  arrow) and steps leading to the raised platform.

12
Clip Boards

• Clip board holders with clip boards (blue arrows)
  are available to students as they enter the
  cadaver lab.

West Side of the Lab

• The west side of the lab has a projection screen
  and white boards. On both sides of the white
  boards are 35 inch monitors. The instructors
  station is indicated by the blue arrow.

20
Computers

• Every two students share a computer. There are
  twelve computers on twelve tables.

21
The AP Lab in Action

• ADAM (Animated Dissection of Anatomy for
  Medicine) is a computer program that enables
  students to do virtual dissections of the human
  body. ADAM, bones, cadavers, models, and animal
  organ dissection are used in the study of anatomy.

22
Camera on Cart

• The monitors are supplied by a camera on a cart.
  A camera arm allows the camera position to be
  varied. Also on the cart is a monitor for the
  instructor.

23
Using the Camera

• The camera projects to the two 35 inch TV
  monitors in the lab. The details of small
  objects, such as this sheep eye, can be seen by
  the entire class. The instructor is facing the
  class and at the same time can view the image
  seen on the large TVs in the small monitor on the
  cart.
• There is a famous quote from the 1942 movie
  Casablanca that anatomist frequently use.
  While observing a female sheep eye, Rick Blaine
  (Humphrey Bogart) said, Heres looking at ewe.

24
Skeletons in Our Closets

• Yes, we have skeletons in our closets. On the
  south and north sides of the lab are skeleton
  closets. The articulated skeletons can be pulled
  out of their closets during bone labs.

25
Counter Top Space

• Counter top space around three sides of the lab
  are used for display, study, and review.

26
Sheep Brains

• In Biology 201, sheep brains are dissected as
  part of the study of the nervous system.

27
Sheep Eyes

• In Biology 201, sheep eyes are dissected as part
  of the study of the special senses.

28
Sheep Heart

• In Biology 202, sheep hearts are dissected as
  part of the study of the circulatory system.

29
Support Materials

• A variety of models are available to supplement
  ADAM, the cadavers, and the organ dissections.
