Not that structures shouldn't have been found sooner - but dissection is a bit of an inexact science (as is surgery - believe me that surgeons don't go looking for extra things - nor does anyone want them to) and we just don't have the opportunity to explore at all with the curricular changes. It's sort of sad to me. I find dissection hard - physically and emotionally. The cadavers are an amazing gift, and I would love to be able to learn as much as I possibly can from them.
