In this session, students will receive a basic overview of human anatomy. Students will review the various systems of the body and anatomical and directional terminology. Students will be guided through the dissection of a fetal pig to identify and understand the body systems. They will explore the pig's respiratory, digestive, circulatory, excretory, nervous, and reproductive systems. Not only will the students identify the system structures, but they will also learn the functions. Emphasis is placed on understanding multi-system illness/injury and how various conditions can develop into critical illness/injury if not recognized and treated. Fetal pigs have structures closely related to humans, so the students can relate what is learned to human anatomy. Supplies are ordered from Nebraska Scientific, a known and reputable supplier of scientific materials, including preserved animal specimens intended for educational purposes. This session is designed for entry-level and experienced providers and will familiarize participants with human anatomy. Through built-in lectures, participants can correlate the anatomical structure to the function it performs in the body. An emphasis is placed on how the systems of the body depend on one another and how treatments can reduce or prevent the development of secondary illnesses/injuries.
