X-ray
Ultrasound
During a cadaver dissection lab, which midline structure is most useful for orienting the thoracic cavity?
Sternum
Rib Cage
Scapula
Clavicle
What does the term 'gross anatomy' refer to?
The study of structures visible to the naked eye
The study of microscopic cellular structures
The study of genetic material
The study of biochemical processes
How does understanding 3D anatomical relationships benefit surgical planning?
It enhances spatial orientation of organs and tissues
It eliminates the need for imaging
It simplifies the surgical procedure

What is one major advantage of correlating imaging findings with cadaveric dissection during anatomical studies?
It reinforces the understanding of 3D spatial relationships
It eliminates the need for live patient imaging
It reduces the time required for surgeries
It simplifies anatomical nomenclature
How does cadaver dissection contribute to the appreciation of pathological anatomical variations?
It provides tangible experience with diverse anatomical presentations
It standardizes normal anatomy only
It focuses exclusively on textbook anatomy
It minimizes exposure to anomalies
In surgical planning, how does precise anatomical knowledge help reduce intraoperative complications?
It aids in avoiding damage to critical structures
It shortens the learning curve for instruments
It increases reliance on surgical robotics
It allows for faster surgical closure
