Important Topics and Objectives:

1. Spinal Cord and Meninges
2. The Pectoral Girdle
3. Shoulder Muscles
4. Blood Supply to the Shoulder
5. Nervous Supply to the Shoulder- Study the charts describing the muscles of the back and shoulder from this week and last week. We will talk more about the nervous supply when we discuss the brachial plexus in week 5.
6. Review the back and shoulder regions using GARP. GARP is a computer program available in the library that allows you to study regions and structures of the body in the order in which you will encounter them in dissection (i.e.- from superficial structures to deep structures). The program is fairly easy to use and provides a good way to review what you have learned.
