Anatomy Homework for April 25, 2007











For this week's assignment, please briefly describe, as if explaining to a group of beginning students, the specialization of the human upper and lower extremities - from the perspective of the yogic concepts of sthiram and sukham.

Extra credit for haikus. Here's mine:

My legs- strong, steady -
walk me through the world; my arms
hand the world to me.


I look forward to seeing you next week and discussing the knee joint, and sharing my arthroscopic home movies.

Also, here's the link to the Project Gutenberg's Manual of Surgery. It contains images of many interesting medical abnormalities (gross factor - 8 out of 10).
