RE: Clinical relevance of bony landmarks [HAPP-L]
Title: Message
Hi
all!
In my
A&P classes, I have the students keep a running list of bony landmarks
throughout the two semester course. Whenever we learn a new structure
(i.e. Radial artery), I have the students point it out on their body and on
their lab partner's body. Many of the landmarks serve that exact purpose
(a landmark) and help to orient the students to find structures (such as the
location of the Radial artery both on the anterior surface of the forearm and
through the anatomical snuff box.
Food
for thought.

I am
interested. If it's not a muscle attachment, or a passage for vessels
and nerves, I don't know what it's for!

I hope
someone on the list can help with a project I have taken on. I am
trying to put together a mini-lecture on the clinical relevance/use of the
various bony landmarks I am making my students learn. Most of my
students are in nursing so I would be most interested in the use of
landmarks for nursing related practices. I don't have any problems
finding the landmarks and telling the students how to find them, but since I
am not a clinician I am having difficulty answering the "so what"
questions. Depending on the responses I get and the other sources I
drag up, if anyone is interested I can share the information I
gather.
Thanks in
advance.
