Department of Anatomy/ Anatomy 2 - dissection2
Where to be?
➢ See separated file under organizing material or studying material
➢ Division into the groups is same as for the seminar, the groups that are divided into
smaller ones – were informed during the seminar
What you will need to bring with you?
➢ Lab coat (should be clean and closed while working on the specimens, used only at the dissection)
➢ Plastic shoe covers or washable slippers with covered toes
➢ Surgical gloves
➢ ISIC – evidence of the attendance in the seminar rooms
➢ Respirator acc. to your will
➢ Forceps 14,5 or 16 cm long (anatomical, without hooks)
➢ Scalpel handle No. 4 with exchangeable blades no. 21, 23
➢ Dissecting tools shoud be in a case! (in hand only during the preparation! Danger of injury!!!)
➢ Anatomical atlas
➢ KNOWLEDGE
It is important to have a good knowledge of the muscles (origin, insertion, function, innervation, groups), nerves
vessels, organs and regional anatomy of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis! You should be able to
explain the topographic areas (description, borders, content, layers)

➢ When moving between the dissection room and seminar room do so purposefully and only
when allowed by the teacher.
➢ The division to your dissection groups is to be respected and strictly followed.
➢ During your lunchbreak, you are allowed to use the areas of campus, including exterior and the

Thank you for adhering to the rules!

How to behave in the dissection room – what
belongs where
➢ Any small tissue cut-offs should be discarded into the plastic containers labelled
“biological waste” (if left on the table it can clog the drainage system!)
➢ Used scalpel blades should be discarded into the specialised containers located next to
the sinks!!!!
➢ Gloves –please separate into the black container with yellow cover.
➢ Paper towels should be discarded into the normal bins.
➢ Please moisturise the specimens during the dissection and at the end of each session!
Cover the skin flaps at the end of each dissection session!!! Do not leave your work station
until it is tidy and clean!
➢ Do not remove the identification tags from the specimens, they are essential for
identification!
➢ Dissect according to the dissection manual – see the interactive syllabus of the course.
➢ Do not manipulate with the air- conditioning control panel, do not open the windows and
close the doors (otherwise the air-conditioning will be ineffective!)
➢ Other tools should be borrowed only with the consent of the teachers and under their
supervision!

➢ Knowledge of bones, joint, muscles, organs, lymph, vessels and nerves – see common
anatomical textbooks (videos) as used in the seminars.
➢ the dissection videos of the head in the studying materials
➢ Add any Regional anatomy, Instructions to the dissection and any atlas
