Course Description:
Normal gross structures of thorax, abdomen, pelvis, perineum,
upper extremity, and neck are discussed, then dissected on
human cadavers. The development of each organ system is presented
and related to the definitive normal adult structure. Developmental
anomalies and diagnostic anatomy are also discussed.
Educational Objectives:
The student will gain knowledge in the structural organization
of the human body. The objectives will be for the student to
be able to (1) identify the human bone structure, (2) understand
the development and positioning of the thoracic and abdominal
cavities in a cadaver and a living body, (3) understand the
anatomical functions, development, and clinical significance
of bodily organs and cavities, (4) identify the components
of the body wall and important anatomic defects, (5) demonstrate
understanding of the somatic and visceral nervous system, (6)
know the lymphatic pathways and major groups of lymph nodes,
(7) correlate the radiological appearance of thoracic, abdominal,
and pelvic viscera with cadaveric and living anatomy, and (8)
communicate knowledge of anatomy verbally or in writing in
a coherent, logical, and systematic way using correct terminology.
Course Outline:
Lecture topics included:
general introduction to gross anatomy, embryology, and living
anatomy; general organization of the body wall; concept of
the body cavity; body wall; formation of the embryo; germ
layers; formation of the body cavity; folding of the embryo;
introduction to dissection; division of the body cavity; living
anatomy of the breast; clinical relevance of somatic innervation;

Course
Expectations:
To
successfully meet the requirements of this course, the student
is expected to attend all lectures, dissection laboratories
and small group sessions. Demonstrate his/her understanding
of human structure and development through in class exercises,
quizzes and examinations.
