Regional Anatomy II - Head, neck, dorsum and limbs

Objectives

The Regional or Topographical Anatomy is an additional area of Morphological Sciences complimentary to General Human Anatomy and Descriptive Anatomy General or Systemic. While these provide the students with the fundamental building blocks for knowledge of language and anatomical terminology, as well as descriptive aspects of the various organs and systems, Regional Anatomy addresses the structure of the human body in a topographical perspective. The human body is now divided into anatomical regions that are studied by defining its limits, its different plans, relations between different structures, feeling the different textures of tissues and organs and becoming aware of the possibility of change from the "normal" that every individual and every structure can present.

The teaching of Anatomy, as we see it, will be to promote a sound knowledge of Normal Anatomy, essential in preparing the student for future learning in other curricular units of the MSc in Medicine. Only an extensive and solid background in Normal Human Anatomy, which includes the regional knowledge of anatomy, can allow students to understand issues such as Anatomy of Development, Functional Anatomy, Imaging anatomy, Ultrasound Anatomy, Endoscopic Anatomy, Pathological Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy (from both the medical and surgical areas).

This optional Course Unit is also the response to a challenge posed by students during the first semester of the first year: "looking for more"! The theoretical and practical knowledge of Normal Anatomy opened the door and will allow the study of Regional or Topographical Anatomy. The challenge of learning the Anatomy, essential to the formation of any physician, is also to accept this invitation to "learn to be more."

Subject matter

The syllabus of the Course Unit of Regional Anatomy I comprises the Head, Neck, Dorsum, Upper and Lower Limbs. The syllabus is presented here in general terms. The detailed summaries, including the regional subdivisions, will be presented later.

The dates and hours of classes will be defined according to overall planning of the first year of the MSc in Nova Medical School for the academic year 2018-2019 and to logistic criteria, namely the number of students enrolled in the Curricular Unit, the availability of teachers and the management of rooms.
