Course description
The focus of this course is an in-depth and comprehensive study of human anatomy with emphasis on the head and neck, face, and skull. Identify 33 anatomical structures within the thorax with emphasis on structures of the thoracic wall and thoracic cavity. Dissection and identification of structures in the manikins/smart board system supplemented with the study of charts, models, protected materials, and radiographs are utilized to identify anatomical landmarks and configurations of the head and neck, face, skull, and thorax.
• Describe and illustrate human anatomy related to the head and neck, face, skull, and thoracic cavity
• Identify joints, muscles, nerves, veins, arteries, and other anatomical structures of the head and neck, face, and skull
• Identify anatomical structures of the thoracic wall and thoracic cavity
The head and the neck
• Muscles around the neck • Triangles of the neck • Main arteries of the neck • Main veins of the neck • Cervical part of sympathetic trunk• Cervical plexus • Cervical spine (vertebrae) • Joints of neck.
The face
• Sensory nerves of the face • Bones of the face • Muscles of the face • Facial nerve • Muscles of mastication • Mandible
• Hyoid bone • Temporomandibular joint • Brief description of orbit and nasal cavity • Muscles of eye
The skull
• Bones of skull • Anterior cranial fossa • Middle cranial fossa • Posterior cranial fossa • Base of skull 34 • Structures passing through foramina.
Thorax
• Dorsal spine (vertebrae) • Sternum • Costal Cartilages & Ribs • Intercostal Muscles • Intercostal Nerves • Diaphragm • Blood supply of thoracic wall • Lymphatic drainage of thoracic wall • Joints of thorax
Thoracic cavity
• Mediastinum • Pleura • Trachea • Lungs • Bronchopulmonary segments • Pericardium • Heart – Its blood supply, venous drainage & nerve supply • Large veins of thorax, superior and inferior vena cava., pulmonary veins brachiocephalic veins • Large Arteries – Aorta & its branches
