Musculoskeletal Anatomy CAM309
Introduction
This unit provides an opportunity for you to study the topographical and systems macroscopic anatomy of the human limbs and trunk. Emphasis is placed upon the identification and description of structures and the correlation of structure with function. This includes for the upper limbs their role in manipulation, for the lower limbs standing and walking and for the trunk flexible support and protection. Emphasis is also given to clinical applications. Anatomy will be studied in a combination of lectures and practical work including observation of human cadavers, and study of prosections, models, diagrams and medical imaging.
