Today we came face to face with our cadavers for the first time. Up until now, we had kept the cadavers' heads covered, in part to keep them from drying out prematurely, but mostly because it's the most disturbing part of working with human bodies. After over two months of skinning, slicing, tearing, and prodding, nothing can phase us. I will say that the half open eyes were a bit disconcerting.
TIL: While motor innervation of the muscles for facial expression are supplied by the facial nerve (Cranial Nerve VII), the sensory input from the skin on the face is communicated via the three branches of the trigeminal nerve (CN V).
You haven't gotten all the way to the bone of the skull until the metal probe makes a "ping" noise when you tap it.
In the surprisingly lyrical words of my anatomy professor, the superior sagittal sinus is one of the main veins that drains the brain.
