COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course Objectives:
- To provide students with comprehensive knowledge of the topographical anatomy of organs and systems.
- To deliver detailed understanding of the structure and function of individual organs and systems.
- To develop skills in localizing internal organs based on anatomical topography.
- To enable the practical application of anatomical knowledge in clinical practice.
- To cultivate an appreciation and respect for the human body.
Learning Outcomes - The Student:
- Demonstrates proficiency in the use of anatomical terminology.
- Describes the anatomical structure of the human body, emphasizing organ and system topography (upper and lower extremities, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, back, neck, and head).
- Explains the anatomical structures of specific body systems in relation to their physiological functions (musculoskeletal system, muscular system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, urinary system, male and female reproductive systems, nervous system, sensory organs, and integumentary system).
- Applies anatomical terminology accurately in clinical settings and integrates topographical knowledge into practice.
- Designs a systematic approach for applying foundational anatomical knowledge during physical examinations.
