Dissection of the cubital fossa and anterior forearm

The video explores the anatomy of the forearm through a detailed dissection process. It begins with a historical context of anatomical studies and the challenges faced in learning anatomy. The tutorial then guides viewers through the dissection of the cubital fossa and anterior forearm, highlighting the identification of superficial and deep structures, including veins, nerves, and muscles. The video concludes with a summary of the dissection findings and offers mnemonics to aid in memorizing anatomical structures.
