I hope you enjoy them. Thanks to Jonathan "fat daddy max" Terry for scanning them.

here is the exam 

 So, I hear that Dr. Uray isn't allowed to do bootcamp for anatomy. This, in my mind, is a tragedy. He provided such a great resource to students that needed major help. Many of you will never experience the amazing Uray--how sad.

Anyway, you MUST look at this spreadsheet for the upper limb (it also includes the lower limb). This is THE way to organize the crazy amount of material (the rubber has now hit the road guys). This is how Dr. Uray taught the material in boot camp. This is something that I made that organizes the muscles into compartments. This is good, since the compartments for the most part have the same innervation pattern. This makes learning the innervation MUCH easier.

I don't think that I provided blood supply for the UE. You may want to look into that.

You should be able to know this chart in it's entirety from memory (don't worry about the lower limb stuff, obviously).

Also, make certain that you draw out the blood supply and nerves. I will do it on my computer and post it so that you guys can see what I mean.

Hopefully I can help a little, since Dr. Uray isn't allowed to do bootcamp.

 I just realized that you guys have an OTM test tomorrow. This first test is a little different than the rest of the tests for first year. Generally, with all OTM tests, you can easily get an 80% by just knowing how to diagnose and then how to setup and treat using the techniques taught in lab. This first exam, however, will probably have some questions that aren't necessarily related to lab, more related to the history of osteopathy. I would keep some of those things in my brain.

On the exam you generally won't be told "the patient is rotated right, sidebent left". In fact, they will say, "left transverse process moved anteriorly well" and "translation to the left was more restricted than translation to the right". "What would be the setup for a direct HVLA supine treatment?" (actually, I don't think you have done treatments yet, so, they will say "what is the diagnosis?").

Remember--good translation to the right means the segment moved to the right of the patient, which means the vertebral column prefers a LEFT sidebend. This is key.

In the exam, try to imagine that you are in lab diagnosing your partner given the criteria of the question.

good luck

 Many people noticed that the quizes were a little harder in lab this week. There are a few factors in this, but one of them that you can do something about is making sure you have a clean dissection. I know that at least when I help groups find a particular item in lab I won't clean it all the way out. This allows for your group to work on it and for it to sink in your mind where you are working, what you are working on, and what structures related to it (around it a near by) are important. Taking the time to make sure that items are well defined will make the item much easier to recognize from another item during an ID quiz.

From yesterday's lab (9/18/06), make sure that you can identify:


Medial cutaneous nerve of forearm
Lateral cutaneous antebrachial nerve
Posterior cutaneous antebrachial nerve
(you are still responsible for the other cutaneous nerves for the lecture exam)

Median subital vein
basilic vein
cephalic vein
(know what tributaries create them and what they dump into)

Other items for lecture:
Fascia (named for area it is covering)
Know what a dermatome is and how it changes embroyonically.
Lymphatic drainage
Know where cell bodies of different types of nerves are located!!!!!! This will be tested on over and over again!


If these tips have been helpful in your studing, spread the word and let others know it is available.
Good luck!
