Naked Lab?

Not as glamourous as it might sound. This semester I have a lab for my Functional Anatomy class that enables us to learn how to locate and draw structures on people so that we can better understand why we use certain therapies. You might think that they would bring in volunteers for us to learn on... false. We get to learn how to draw these structures on each other. 

 

For the first lab, our instructor failed to tell us that we would be shirtless, as we would be drawing each other's shoulder girdles. I was one of the lucky ones that wore a sports bra to class, but it didn't make it any less awkward. Both of our instructors are male and to be able to identify the shape of bones requires significant palpation. 

 

I know we are supposed to be professional and mature about this whole thing, but I can't help but dread the day that we do the anterior and posterior hip complex!
