This dissection will be a very participatory dissection. The group size will allow ample time to observe, touch, and move different tissues and joints. It will give us all a chance to explore, ask each other questions, and seek the answers to those questions as a group. Lorre Mueller will lead much of the dissection but there will be welcomed participation from all who attend.
Here are the main topics covered in the dissection:
Movement of the TMJ and interarticular disc
How incorrect bridle fit has implications on these structures and others
Can we feel the hind limb movement in the hyoid apparatus?
All major muscles groups
Organs and the possibility of dissecting certain organs to see the inside of them, for example: heart, kidneys, and stomach.
Connection between psoas, kidneys, and diaphragm
Connection of rectus capitus muscles and the duramater
How some muscles interdigitate with others creating stronger connections, for example: gluteus medius and longissimus dorsi and the diaphragm with abdominus transversus
The removal of the front limb to observe muscles of the medial side and the thoracic sling muscles.
Brachial plexus and implications of entrapment
All tendons of the lower limbs
Opening certain joint capsules to explore more of their function, for example: stifle, hock, and hip
Looking at the function of the stay apparatus of the hind limb
Removal of hyoid apparatus and looking at its motion
