Course Overview

This is the first course that begins with the beginning of the year, with 2 h/week theory by

aids of data show in the teaching halls and 4h/week practical sessions in the anatomy lab.

on the dissected cadavars, plastinated samples, plastic samples ,and other means as videos

for further explanation.

Anatomy is the science that deals with the structure and function of the

body.

It is important for medical students to have knowledge and understanding

of the basic anatomic terms. The accurate use of anatomic terms by

medical personnel enables them to communicate with their colleagues both

nationally and internationally. Also it is important for medical students to

have knowledge about the basic structures of the body such as skin, bone,

muscle, etc, because understanding these basic structures help them better

and easier understanding of the other regions of the body such as the

limbs.

The upper limb is a multijointed lever that is freely movable on the trunk

at the shoulder joint. At the distal end of the upper limb is the prehensile

organ, the hand. Much of the importance of the hand depends on the

pincerlike action of the thumb, which enables one to grasp objects between

the thumb and index finger .

The upper limb is divided into the shoulder (junction of the trunk with the

arm), arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand. Each part has its own muscles,

nerves, arteries and veins.

Course objectives

First: to understand the terms of anatomy, position and movements.

Second: to understand the structures of the body such as skin, bone,

muscles, etc.

Third: to understand the anatomy of the upper limb relative to

some clinical conditions.

Fourth: to understand the main parts of the upper limbs: hand,

wrist, forearm, arm, shoulder region, etc.

Fifth: to understand the arterial and nerve supply of the upper limb

and some common clinical problems related to them such as nerve

injuries.

Course Overview

An overview of the course described in two or three meaningful

paragraphs.

Course objectives

An understanding of the structure of the chest wall and the diaphragm is

essential if one is to understand the normal movements of the chest wall in

the process of aeration of the lungs. Contained within the protective thoracic cage are the important life-

sustaining organs—lungs, heart, and major blood vessels. In addition, the lower part of the cage overlaps the upper abdominal organs, such as the liver, stomach, and spleen, and offers them considerable protection.

Although the chest wall is strong, blunt or penetrating wounds can injure the soft organs beneath it. This is especially so in an era in which

automobile accidents, stab wounds, and gunshot wounds are commonplace.

Because of the clinical importance of the chest wall, examiners tend to

focus on this area. Questions concerning the ribs and their movements; the diaphragm, its attachments, and its function; and the contents of an

intercostal space have been asked many times. o understand the general arrangement of the thoracic viscera and their

relationship to one another and to the chest wall. To be able to define what is meant by the term mediastinum and to learn

the arrangement of the pleura relative to the lungs. This information is

fundamental to the comprehension of the function and disease of the lungs.

Appreciating that the heart and the lungs are enveloped in serous

membranes that provide a lubricating mechanism for these mobile viscera and being able to distinguish between such terms as thoracic cavity,

pleural cavity (pleural space), pericardial cavity, and costodiaphragmatic recess.

To learn the structure of the heart, including its conducting system and the

arrangement of the different chambers and valves, which is basic to understanding the physiologic and pathologic features of the heart. The

critical nature of the blood supply to the heart and the end arteries and myocardial infarction is emphasized.

To understand that the largest blood vessels in the body are located within

the thoracic cavity, namely, the aorta, the pulmonary arteries, the venae cavae, and the pulmonary veins. Trauma to the chest wall can result in disruption of these vessels, with consequent rapid hemorrhage and death.

Because these vessels are hidden from view within the thorax, the diagnosis of major blood vessel injury is often delayed, with disastrous

consequences to the patient.
