Anatomy (Human structure and function) dermatome man question

[Turtle]

For ANAT20006:
Does anyone think for the dermatome man, we need to know how to number every segment?
As does anyone think we need to know how to label L1, L2, T1, T2, T3 ect..?

[Peedles]

Yes you do. You will also need to know it if you decide to pursue the anatomy subjects in 3rd year. As I recall in 2nd year we had to label parts of the dermatome man which related to the type of nerve injury described in the question.

[Turtle]

Thanks for that! I'm sure it can't be that hard to learn hopefully

Anatomy is the most overwhelming subject i have come across so far

Ridiculous that they go through a whole single body system in a single lecture :/

It gets worse in dent and med. Tends to cause the most anxiety.

lol worst part of first year

Do they overlap with the stuff we learn in pre-req subjects?? Anatomy, Physio and Biochem. Or are they completely new topics?

Sure, there's some overlap. But it's taught in a different context, expanded and in more detail. It also progresses quicker and requires you to integrate your understanding while concurrently taking on a range of new theoretical and practical skills that are taught more intensely than your subject load in undergrad.

But, you cope.

The first x (12) weeks of anatomy will be spent being like 'why the fuq am I doing this' but in the end it doesn't seem as hard as it does...in class when you're learning it all at once.  Stringing words together is not a strong point after like 16 hours of Immuno revision.  Also they repeat heaps of the questions on the exam from the HSF papers which are on the library website (or at least they did Sem1 last year).  The exam format makes it pretty easy imo because you spend a lot of time labelling things, choosing from lists of words, doing MCQs which resemble those you do every week for the ILT tests.

The trick to anatomy is picking out the things they're going to ask about. Nobody actually cares whether you can name all the muscles of the back but they definitely care that you know about which brachial plexus levels supply what functions

[Turtle]

Ahhh...have we learnt about brachial plexus' yet?

Because that rings a bell, but I don't think I've revised that, mabye I didn't take it down in the lecture :/ The lecturer talks so fast, and I feel like I am in a dictation lesson half the time!!

[Russ]

Not sure, just saying that one because they always ask about it. It's the nerve thingy in the armpit if that reminds you.

[simpak]

I don't...think you do that until you do limbs.

[Turtle]

I'm glad, I thought I might have missed it!
And I'll be taking a special note to revise that for the exam, since I have no clue what's on there since they don't give out past exams.

Read what I said above about Biomed HSF papers on the library website.  When subjects don't give out past exams it often means they like repeating questions, too.
