Week 15: Halloween Hemisection

Ready for another list? Female and male perineum, pelvis, superficial face and neck, and cranial cavity were the list of objectives for this week as was Halloween though we didn't really celebrate it. In the spirit of creepy Halloween however, one of our dissections was a hemisection which involved dismemberment of the leg and also sawing the pelvis in half (hence the hemisection) so that we can see the cross section of the anatomy through the pubic symphysis. Needless to say a disembodied lower limb was a rather creepy thing to heft around.

Halloween was celebrated by trunk or treating for a bit at church and also a little bit of neighborhood trick or treating for Mikey. As the trend continues there were virtually no trick or treaters on Halloween itself suggesting that the era of door to door trick or treating is over. Enjoy the pictures of Mikey the doggie:
