Leaf anatomy and taxonomy of Lintonia nutans (Chloridoideae: Poaceae)

The leaf blade anatomy of Lintonia nutans Stapf is described and illustrated. The results confirm that L. nutans belongs to the Chloridoideae but indicate that the affinities of this species lie with the Chlorideae and not with the Eragrostideae where it is currently classified. The leaf anatomy also suggests that L. nutans may be congeneric with those Chloris Swartz species which have PCK type leaf anatomy. C. mossambicensis K. Schum., in particular, displays close anatomical, ecological and morphological similarities with L. nutans.

His and hers: Male and female anatomy in anatomy texts for U.S. medical students, 1890–1989

AbstractMuch recent work on gender has emphasized how ideas of male and female differences underlie cultural assumptions about appropriate social relations, behavior, institutions and knowledge. This study focusses on the specific ways that anatomy texts for medical students in the United States have presented male and female anatomy between 1890 and 1989, using both numerical data and analysis of textual examples from 31 texts. Despite public debates about gender representation, anatomy texts have generally remained consistent in how ‘the’ human body has been depicted in this century. In illustrations, vocabulary and syntax, these texts primarily depict male anatomy as the norm or standard against which female structures are compared. Modern texts thus continue long-standing historical conventions in which male anatomy provides the basic model for ‘the’ human body.

Leading ArticleAnatomy in Surgical Examinations

AbstractToday, more than ever, the postgraduate surgical trainee requires instruction in anatomy, for no longer does the undergraduate get a thorough grounding in anatomy. In the past, the postgraduate trainee had formal tuition and examination in anatomy at 2nd M.B. and, therefore, only recall and reinforcement of knowledge were necessary to learn the anatomy required for the old Primary Examination of the four Royal Colleges of Surgeons. In recent years, the amount of time for teaching anatomy in the undergraduate course has been drastically reduced and, in many medical schools, anatomy is taught on prosected specimens rather than allowing the student to dissect the human body. In some cases, knowledge is acquired by self-directed learning and by virtual reality programs on the computer. The old 2nd M.B. examination has virtually disappeared and teaching of anatomy has changed from a discipline-based method, to systems-based or problem-based teaching with self-directed learning.

Health Policy and Practice / Santé: politique et pratique médicaleThe Utilisation of Radiology for the Teaching of Anatomy in Canadian Medical Schools

AbstractObjectiveTo determine the utilisation of diagnostic imaging (radiology) as a department and/or imaging medium in the teaching of anatomy at the Canadian undergraduate medical education level.MethodsThe study objectives were achieved through the use of a questionnaire and a literature review. The anatomy department head at each English-based Canadian Medical School was contacted, and the individual most responsible for anatomy teaching in the medical school curriculum was identified. This individual was subsequently asked to complete a questionnaire that evaluated the involvement of radiology for anatomy teaching in their curriculum.ResultsThe use and integration of radiology is a common practice in the teaching of anatomy in Canadian undergraduate medicine. Although the methods and extent of its use varied among institutions, every English-based Canadian medical school, except one, was using diagnostic imaging material in their instruction of anatomy. Furthermore, half of the i Read more...

1Pelvic anatomy and MRI

An in-depth knowledge of the anatomy of the pelvis and pelvic sidewall is necessary before a gynaecologist can even contemplate making an initial examination and start management in cases of pelvic pathology or malignancy. This chapter provides basic information on gross pelvic anatomy structures that are of clinical relevance and discusses their correlation with medical imaging, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).MRI is an ideal non-invasive technique in the assessment of normal anatomy and tissue characterization of pelvic pathology. The excellent soft-tissue contrast and the ability to direct multiplanar imaging and to demonstrate blood vessels without the use of intravenous contrast make MRI superior to other imaging modalities in the evaluation of pelvic abnormalities. The anatomical relation of the visceral organs, the differential zonal anatomy of the corpus uteri and the cyclical endometrial changes during the menstrual cycle are well depicted with MRI.
