Introductory Anatomy, Gross Anatomy of Upper Limbs

At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. classify the basic divisions of anatomy into regional, systemic and applied anatomy; 2. demonstrate knowledge of anatomical terms, anatomical positions, planes, relationships and comparisons, laterality and movement; 3. identify the shape, two ends, bony markings, and relations of surfaces of the clavicle; 4. identify the articular surfaces, types, capsules, ligaments and neurovascular supply to the SC and AC joints; 5. identify the articular surfaces, shaft and bony markings of the Humerus; 6. identify the articular surfaces, type, joint capsule, extrinsic and extrinsic ligaments and neurovascular supply to the shoulder joint; 7. describe the ends, articular surfaces, shafts, bony markings and processes of the two forearm bones; 8. identify the shape, boundaries and contents of the axilla; 9. describe the articular surfaces, type, capsule, ligaments, range of movement and neurovascular supply of the elbow joint; 10. describe the attachment and orientation of the fibers of the interosseous membrane; 11. identify the names, relations and articulations of the two rows of carpal bones; 12. identify the shapes, bases and heads of metatarsals and their articulations; 13. discuss the attachments, actions and innervations of the axioappendicular and scapulohumeral muscles; 14. differentiate the boundaries and contents of carpal tunnel; and 15. identify the number and compartments of hand muscles and describe the neurovascular bundle of the hand.
