Item Second rib cut, donor IBXFT(2024) Kelly, Ashlin; Wisco, Jonathan J.This illustration provides a view of the second rib cut procedure using bone shears. The image demonstrates the technique for cutting through the second rib while ensuring the preservation of the surrounding anatomical structures. This step follows the cutting of lower ribs and precedes the first rib cut.Item Heart dissection, donor IBXFT(2024) Kelly, Ashlin; Wisco, Jonathan J.This illustration depicts the anterior heart dissection. On the left, the image shows the exterior of the heart with dashed lines indicating the planned incision sites for the dissection. These lines outline the areas to be cut to provide access to internal structures. On the right, the image reveals the heart after the incisions have been made and the outer layers have been cut. The internal structures, including the muscular walls of the ventricles and the myocardial fibers, are visible.Item Patellofemoral joint dissection, donor IBXFT(2024) Kelly, Ashlin; Wisco, Jonathan J.This three-part illustration provides anterior views of the patellofemoral joint dissection. The first image shows the knee in an extended position, providing a clear view of the patella, femur, and tibia with the patella in its natural resting position within the femoral groove. The second image elevates the patella to reveal the underlying structures, including the articular surface of the femur and the patellar tendon attachment, showing the contact area between the patella and femur. The third image depicts the knee in a flexed position, showing changes in patellar alignment and its relationship with the femur and tibia during knee movement.Item First rib cut, donor IBXFT(2024) Kelly, Ashlin; Wisco, Jonathan J.
