Museum Annexe (refer to map on page 11 of this worksheet)

The museum annexe contains displays that will give you a general introduction to the anatomy and pathology of the human body. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with the way the specimens are displayed.

Transport Systems

Activity One

a) See specimen 100024 in cabinet 36B. Examine the thick elastic, muscular vessel walls. Why do you think these vessels have thick walls?

______________________________________________________________________________________________

b) Cabinet 36B also displays an Upper Limb specimen (100362) with veins exposed. What do you think the bumps in the veins represent?

______________________________________________________________________________________________

c) Why would the veins appear darker in colour than arteries? ______________________________________________

Waste Removal

Activity Two

a) View the cross-sections in cabinet 36C and note the liver and kidneys. Indicate with an arrow,these structures:

b) Cabinet 36B also holds specimen 100093, showing tubular viscera from the gut. Why do you think there are manyfolds or ‘villi’ within the tubes?

Gas Exchange

Activity Three

a) The lungs are made of functionally separate lobes. These lobes are serviced by air passages formed by bronchii.Label the trachea or ‘windpipe’, primary, secondary and tertiary bronchii on the diagram below:

View the different lungs in the Thorax Bay and see if you can identify the different lobes on each. Note the spongy appearance of the lung tissue.

b) Label with an arrow, the structures which allow gas exchange into the lung tissue (bronchioles and alveoli/airsacs):

Transport Systems

Activity Four

a) Answer the following questions about specimen 100106 in the Thorax Bay:

A

B

This specimen is a dissection showing structures in the neck and upper part of the thorax. The structure at the back is the spinal column. Also dissected are: the aorta (main artery from the heart) and trachea (‘windpipe’).

b) Can you identify the following structures (from image 100106 above)?

A) B)

Activity Five

a) What are the four chambers of the heart?

1) _____________________________________ 3) _____________________________________

2) _____________________________________ 4) _____________________________________

b) Can you label the chambers in the following diagram and show the direction of blood flow through the heart (use arrowsto indicate flow direction)?

c) Label the four chambers of the heart in the following image:

d) Why are the walls of the left ventricle so much thicker than the right?

Activity Six

This activity relates to specimen 100109 in cabinet 6A:

a) What do you notice about the thickness of the walls of the atria and ventricles? _______________________________

b) Can you identify the following structures in this specimen?

A) _______________________________________________________

B) _______________________________________________________

C) _______________________________________________________

D) _______________________________________________________

E) _______________________________________________________

c) Why is the right dome of the diaphragm higher than the left dome? _________________________________________

d) Why is the wall of Structure C thicker than the wall of Structure A? ________________________________________

e) Consider the location and attachments of the diaphragm. Which direction do you think the diaphragm will move during

inhalation? _____________________________________________________________________________________

Which direction will the diaphragm move during expiration? _______________________________________________

Also consider movement of the ribs in inhalation (bucket-handle) and expiration (pump-handle), when looking at the diaphragm

and its movement during respiration.

Nutrient Absorption & Waste Removal

Activity Eight

a) Refer to specimen 000188 in cabinet 8A:

This specimen shows the inside of the stomach. The folds are called ‘rugae’. There is a pit in one part of the wall (arrow). This is an ulcer.

b) What is the purpose of the folds in the wall of the stomach? _______________________________________________

Activity Nine

a) View specimen 100283 on top of cabinet 10C and in the image below. Label the urinary bladder, ureters, renalarteries and renal veins:

b) When kidneys are not functioning correctly, what is the consequence for the blood and internal environment?

Reproduction

Activity Ten

View the healthy male and female reproductive organs in cabinet 27B.

a) Label the urinary bladder, urethra, ureters and prostate gland on the diagram below:

b) The image below is of specimen 100302 from cabinet 27B. Label the uterus, ovary, fallopian tube andcervix:

* Tip: Use the posters in the Reproductive System bay, as well as the ‘Urinary Tract’ poster in the Abdomen bay as

a guide when labelling the diagrams.

c) View specimen ‘515’ in cabinet 12B. What has happened to the uterus and ovaries with old age?
