The dissection of the joints completes the upper limb. Because many muscles, nerves and arteries
need to be removed for this dissection, only half of the tables in each bay are assigned
to do this dissection (on one side only). Since this requires some additional effort, those tables assigned joints of
the upper limb are not required to dissect the hand on the side they elect to do the joints
unless they so desire.
N.B. The other half of the tables will be assigned to do the lower limb joints.
