Hated Anat Topics Award (HATA):

I hate them for many reasons. Some because it was an SDL topic, some because it wasn't presented well the first time I heard about it, some I just hate because I can't understand anything even after hours of inquiring and studying. & the awards goes to:


1. Hippocampus & fornix - If fornix is just a freakin layer then why do they label the whole tube as fornix??


2. Extra ocular muscles - PBL topic. Superior & inferior oblique winds around 1/2 the world b4 inserting anywhere.


3. Limbic system - Dunno what it is actually, or even what's its for. Where does olfaction fit anywhere in emotions?


4. Cerebellum - Anat's Archicerebellum, Neocerebellum & Paleocerebellum VERSUS Physio's Spinocerebellum, Vestibulocerebellum & Cerebrocerebellum. Same, but different. Why cant they just choose different names?


5. Thyroid arteries - They run with laryngeal nerves, which runs with laryngeal nerves in the pharynx. So they actually take turns? Wow. Hot stuff.


6. Spinal cord tracts - Never the same diagram in any 2 books. Everyone has their own different story. Aren't people's spinal cord the same?


7. 4th ventricle - Velum? Ependyma? Tela choroidea? Pudencle? And half of it I never seen before.


8. Cerebrum - Sulci & Gyri. Guess im no neurosurgeon. Axial sulcus vs Operculated sulcus?


9. Lateral Ventricle - If only the 1st time I heard it, the person would AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT IT IS 1ST.


10. Hypothalamus - So many nuclei divided by fornix?


11. Blood supply of brain - They seriously expect us to know the cortical course of it? I seriously think area of distribution is more important.


12. Cranial nerves - Wow, the diagram drawn was so GIGANTIC that a person standing 60meters away could read it. NOT. 60cm then yes. Nicely done. At least TALK SLOWER.
