Course overview

In this course the anatomical principles and terminology introduced in Biosciences for Human Health B and extended in Anatomy of Lower Limb & Trunk will be applied to the detailed study of the anatomy of the upper limb, the head and neck, and to the study of neurosciences. The concept of integrated function of multiple body systems will be developed in each region and relevant medical imaging techniques and clinical assessment skills will be incorporated. The course will be delivered via a blended learning model and will comprise a mix of lectures, on-line activities, practical sessions using prosected cadavers and other anatomical materials and clinical anatomy practical classes covering surface anatomy and clinical applications.

Course learning outcomes

  • Describe and define the normal structure and function of neurovascular structures and muscular as well as connective tissue systems within the upper limb, and relate this to the upper limb function.
  • Describe and discuss the normal structure and function of neurovascular structures and muscular as well as connective tissue systems within the head and neck, and relate this to its role in housing visceral structures, special sense organs and the central nervous system.
  • Describe normal structure and function of the central nervous system, and discuss its role in sensation and movement.
  • Use appropriate medical terminology, to accurately describe anatomical structures or events and infer their relationship to function.
