In this course, students approach the study of the human body in a regional manner with sequential study of the back, upper extremities, body wall, thoraco-abdominal cavity and contents. Included in the dissection of each region are the musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous and lymphatic components, relevant surface anatomy, and imaging of the region. The lectures and laboratories are coordinated with the Histology/Embryology course to provide an overall anatomic view of each region. This course involves lecture and dissection in the laboratory, and student progress is evaluated through written and practical examinations.
