Learning outcomes

1.

Improve on and generate additional awareness concerning normal gross anatomical aspects of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum.

2.

Distinguish and compare gross and regional anatomical structures with their representative two-dimensional cross-sectional anatomical images associated with the anatomical planes being coronal, sagittal or transverse.

3.

Improve your comparative anatomy knowledge between the normal anatomy of prosected human cadaveric prosections and that of similar three-dimensional plastic anatomical models.

4.

Devise methodologies that can be applied to planning and executing accurate written anatomical narrative in response to an assessment objective.

5.

Improve your clinical knowledge correlating normal gross anatomical aspects with select clinically established pathological rationales.

Additional information

Unit content:

This unit has a clinically oriented regional approach to the gross human anatomy of the head, neck and torso. The specific anatomical regions covered in this unit include the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum. Within each specific anatomical regions an emphasis will be placed on neural (somatic and autonomic), muscular and skeletal structures. The positional and structural organisation of the viscera organs within these regions will be investigated along with the referred cutaneous distribution patterns of the individual visceral organs. The clinical presentation of select gross anatomical alterations (pathologies) will be investigate (not the pathological process that generate the alterations).
