You are viewing a cadaveric heart. You notice a thin, scar-like structure in the interatrial septum of the right atrium. You appreciate that this structure is what and serves to?
What is the fossa ovale and serves to block right-to-left shunting of blood from the right atrium to left atrium to bypass pulmonary circulation?
You are viewing an extremely rare, anomalous spinal cord. You notice that the ventral rami from L2-S2 are fused. Therefore, you can suspect that the functional fiber types found in this collection of ventral rami are
What is motor, sensory, pre-symp, post-symp, and pre-para?
You are viewing a CT scan of a patient. You are trying to figure out where the pulmonary trunk is in relation to the ascending aorta at the transverse thoracic plane. You can appreciate that the pulmonary trunk sits where here and then does what
What is bifurcates into R and L pulmonary aa posterior to the ascending aorta but sits left to it?
You are viewing what you believe to be a L longissimus m on a cadaver. You know that this muscle attaches to all ribs EXCEPT
What are ribs 11 and 12 (because they lack rib tubercles)?

Tamponade prevents ventricular filling
Diastole requires chamber expansion
Reduced preload → decreased stroke volume → hypotension
