Bone Saw



So yesterday in Gross Anatomy Lab, I used a power bone saw to take off my cadavre's rib cage! It was the coolest power tool I've ever used! I had to saw through two parts of the sternum and eight ribs on both sides, then cut the muscles and nerves and pulled it off like a tuperware lid to expose the lungs and heart. Shavings of bone were flying like sawdust and quite a bit of fluid poured out on the table when I took the rib cage off...

Have a great weekend everybody!
