Course
Description:
Structural and functional aspects of regions of body under study are emphasized
by means of human cadaver, lectures, and demonstrations. Clinical
significance of anatomical structure is stressed.
Prereq: First year standing in
the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program or permission of instructor.

STUDENT ORIENTED OBJECTIVES:
At the completion of the course, the student will be
able to:
- Use
appropriate anatomical terminology correctly in both oral and written
communication.
- Relate
the basic histological composition of the primary tissues to the major
functions of each.
- Describe
the histological structure and function of the peripheral nervous, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular and respiratory
systems.
- Analyze
the consequences of skeletal muscle contraction in general, and in all
back, head and neck, upper limb, thoracic and lower limb muscles
specifically.
- Describe
the formation of and classify the articulations of the back, head and
neck, upper limb, lower limb, pelvis and thorax and list the major
supports of each.
- Describe
the formation of a typical spinal nerve and its branches.
- Describe
the consequences of somatic plexus formation and distinguish between the
segmental and peripheral patterns of innervation
of the back, head and neck, thorax, upper limbs and lower limbs.
- Describe
the formation and distribution of the brachial and cervical plexus in
the neck and upper extremity.
- Trace
the detailed course of each peripheral nerve in the upper and lower limb,
noting the relationships of those nerves to bone, muscle, vascular
supply and surface relationships.
- List
the peripheral innervation of each back, head,
neck, thoracic, upper limb and lower limb muscle.
- Describe
the segmental innervation of each back, head,
neck, thoracic, upper limb and lower limb muscle.
- Demonstrate
the bony landmarks of the back, head, neck, thorax, upper limb and lower
limb.
- Describe
and be able to palpate the surface location of each back, head and neck,
thoracic, upper limb and lower limb muscle belly and/or its tendon.
- Describe
and demonstrate the superficial structures of the face including the
muscles of facial expression and the branches of the facial nerve.
- Describe
and demonstrate the muscles of mastication and the branches of the Trigeminal nerve.
- Describe
the structure, function and innervation of the
Tempero-Mandibular Joint.
- Define
the organization of the thoracic cavity with specific emphasis on the lungs
and pleural cavities, diaphragm, heart and pericardium and the contents
of the posterior mediastinum.
- Describe
the formation of and classify the articulations of the pelvis, abdominal
region and list the major supports of each.
- Describe
the formation and distribution of the lumbar and sacral plexi of nerves.
- Demonstrate
the bony landmarks of the pelvis, perineum, abdomen and lower limb.
- Describe
the arterial system and circulatory pattern of the upper extremities,
lower extremities, trunk, pelvic cavity and abdominal cavity with major
emphasis on the primary vessels.
- List
the peripheral innervation of each of the
major muscle groups in the abdomen, pelvis, perineum and lower limb.
- Describe
the segmental innervation of the major muscle
groups in the abdomen, pelvis, perineum and lower limb.
- Describe
the organization of the abdominal wall, including the inguinal region.
- Describe
the general relationships of the pelvic viscera.
- Describe
the perineum in terms of the anal triangle, the urogenital
triangle, the associated viscera, the vascular and nerve supply.
- Understand
the structure and function of the synovial
joints of the human body including the role of the joint capsule and
ligaments associated with the joint.
- Describe
the major non-synovial joints of the human
body in terms of structure and function.
- Describe
the Integumentary system in terms of structure
and function.
- Infer
from one’s anatomical knowledge the effect of injuries and disabilities
such as (but not limited to) motor nerve injuries, sensory nerve
injuries, impaired circulation, damaged connective tissue, and other
supportive structure.
