Anatomy-II (ANTL 112): Course outlines (ANTL 112)

To provide a deeper understanding of the structure and function of the human body.

Course description

This course focuses on an in-depth study and analysis of the regional and systemic organization of the body. Emphasis is placed upon the structure and function of human movement. A comprehensive study of human anatomy with emphasis on the nervous, musculoskeletal, and circulatory systems is incorporated. Introduction to general anatomy lays the foundation of the course. Dissection and identification of structures in manikins/smart board systems supplemented with the study of charts, models, prosecuted materials, and radiographs are utilized to identify anatomical landmarks and configurations of the lower limb, abdomen and pelvis

Objectives

  • Describe the gross anatomy of the neuro-musculoskeletal and circulatory system of the lower limb, abdominal wall, and pelvis.
  • Demonstrate anatomical landmarks and configuration of the lower limb, abdominal wall,l and pelvis through dissection/identification of structures in the manicans/ smart board systems supplemented with the study of charts, models, prosecuted materials, and radiographs.
  • Describe the major stages of embryological development of the lower limb with the development of the neurological and vascular supplies to the lower limb

Lab work

During the study of Gross Anatomy, emphasis should be given to the applied aspect, radiological anatomy, surface anatomy and cross-sectional anatomy of the region covered in the respective semester /year.
