1. Anatomy: Pause the video before the first incision. Looking at the external structures of the next (for example at 00:14), identify where you would find the thyroid cartilage, epiglottis, left common carotid artery, left vagus nerve and left internal jugular vein. [Or sketch these structures onto your interactive video.]
 
 
2. Anatomy: View the video and identify the thyroid cartilage, epiglottis, left common carotid artery, left vagus nerve and left internal jugular vein as they are exposed during the dissection. Were your identifications in 1. correct?
 
 
3. Why clamp the trachea during this portion of the autopsy?
 
 
4. Why leave the esophagus behind inside the chest during this particular case? (Review history.)
 
 
5. Anatomy: Identify the posterior tracheal membrane.
