General Anatomy Sample Clauses

General Anatomy. Introduction Teaching of osteology and central nervous system is based on systemic knowledge, while the remaining chapters (thorax, head and neck, abdomen and pelvis, upper and lower limb) are taught topographically. General anatomy, osteology, skull, central nervous system, head and neck with senses are taught during the first semester, while the thorax, upper limb, abdomen and pelvis, and lower limb are covered during the second semester. It is suggested that the proper anatomical nomenclature (according to Nomina Anatomica both in Polish and Latin languages) be used. A synchronized program of lectures and tutorials encompasses descriptive, topographic and functional anatomy, as well as selected elements from organogenesis; seminars concentrate on oral and clinical anatomy. Primary Aims • To present the structure of the human body, taking into consideration its developmental, descriptive,topographic, and clinical aspects. • To form the foundation necessary to understand human physiological functions, pathological processes, and clinical subjects. Main Objectives Students are required to have an appropriate understanding of the following : • The axes, planes and regions of the human body • The skeletal system including joint classification, with particular emphasis on the cranium, mandible and temporomandibular joint. • The development, ontogenetic and clinical divisions of the brain, detailed external and internal structure of the brain; detailed knowledge of the route and function of projectory descending and ascending tracts, visual, auditory, vestibular, olfactory and gustatory pathways; arterial and venous blood supply of the brain and the spinal cord. Circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid. • The pharyngeal arches, development of the oral cavity, nasal cavity, pharynx, and face, clinical aspects of common congenital malformations. The muscles of the head and neck. Topography of the main arteries, contents of the cranial fossae. Localization of the lymph nodes. • The detailed knowledge of cranial nerve routes, ramifications and range of innervation • The detailed structure, topography, vascularization and innervation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. • The lines, landmarks and topographic regions of the thorax. Divisions of the thoracic cavity. The trachea, lungs, the thoracic wall and diaphragm, the heart and great vessels. • The abdominal and pelvic divisions, detailed structure, topography, blood and nerve supply, basic function of digest...
