I returned to the Human Anatomy Lab at Rush Hospital last night and continued drawing from the same cadaver featured last week. More dissection had taken place, as shown here, where the trapezius, still attached to the skull ( the external occipital protuberance to be more exact) having been laid across the towel covering the cadaver’s head. Other muscles around the shoulder/neck area have been partially removed to show substructure. The main muscle of the buttocks, the gluteus maximus has also been partially removed to reveal deeper tissue and the sciatic nerve. In future drawings I will clearly label the muscle groups, bones and key features.
Absolutely fascinating! What a rare opportunity – thanks for sharing.
Fascinating! Always wanted to do it, never got a chance. A bit intimidating.Your drawings so amazing. Did you saw exhibit Bodies?
Once the blue body bags are unzipped, cadavers are on full display.
