How to dissect a human superficial limb & posterior shoulder

This anatomical video tutorial will show you a deep look inside the superficial limbs and posterior shoulder of a human, much like yourself. If you're a medical student and you need cadaver dissection instructions, this anatomy video will help you along your way. Learn how to dissect a human for the superficial limbs and posterior shoulder. Make sure you have your tweezers for this one.

1. Review the bony landmarks and osteology of the upper limb.
2. Skin the upper limb (except the palm of the hand).
3. Find the superficial veins and cutaneous nerves of the upper limb.
4. Skin the anterior surface of the lower limb, preserving the cutaneous vessels and nerves.
5. Trace the greater saphenous vein from the foot upward to its termination.
6. Clean the subcutaneous tissue from the anterior surface of the lower limb and identify the cutaneous nerves and specializations of the fascia.
7.Turn the body over, and skin the posterior surface of the lower limb, preserving the cutaneous vessels and nerves.
8. Trace the lesser saphenous vein from the foot upward to its termination.
9. Clean the subcutaneous tissue from the posterior surface of the lower limb and identify the cutaneous nerves and specializations of the fascia.
10. Reflect deltoid muscle from acromion and spine of scapula.
11. Saw off acromion and reflect supraspinatus muscle.
12. Reflect infraspinatus from the medial border of scapula toward shoulder and find nerves and vessels beneath.
13. Dissect the teres minor and major muscles.
