Comprehensive study of limb anatomy, covering bones, muscles, vessels, and nerves of upper and lower extremities.
This course offers an in-depth exploration of the anatomy of the upper and lower extremities. Divided into two main parts, it covers the structures and functions of both limbs. Students will learn about the bones, movements, muscles, vessels, and nerves that comprise these extremities. The course begins with introductory lectures suitable for both experienced students refreshing their knowledge and those new to the subject. Following these, detailed dissections are presented, emphasizing locomotion for the lower extremities and hand positioning and function for the upper extremities. The curriculum includes comprehensive coverage of the proximal and distal regions of both limbs, as well as a focused study of the brachial plexus. Through a combination of video lectures, detailed dissection guides, and practical exams, students will gain a thorough understanding of limb anatomy and its functional implications.
