Before i begin the dissection of brain, let me fill in something i forgot to mention in the earlier posts.The "disarticulation" part! Dis-articulate... means undoing what was articulated. In Medicine, articulation means a joint of two bones - elbow joint, knee joint- where one bone comes in contact freely with another ("articulates"). So when u break their contact they disarticulate.(k?)
With this brief intro in mind, i wanted to say that after we finished with thigh, buttocks, knee we no more required the entire body. So, one fine day we were made to disarticulte the hip joint.. and quite literally! we had to clear (remove) all the fat, vessels, muscles, ligaments and whatevr tissue we encountered in the hip region and reach the bones, to the area where the thigh b articulates (comes in contact, joints) with the hip b anyway. So then we had to cut all the muscles, ligaments , and finally after an effort of two damn hours(and we noticed that only after a "yeah!, we did it!", we managed to free the lower limb from the main trunk. And, the next day we entered the dissection room, we were left with only the legs, deprived of the rest of the body, loooking pretty incomplete! Imagine coming to a room and seeing a pair of legs lying on the table, without the rest of the body, waiting to be "cut and scraped" upon!!! It was amusing though...!
