علم التشريح البشرى - HUMAN ANATOMY



Course Title:              Anatomy


 


Course Number:       RHS 241


 


Credit Hours:            2 Theory + 1 Practical = 3 hours




Course Instructor:    Dr. Einas Al-Eisa


 Practical part course instructor: Ms. Lulu Al Rashed



Course Description:  This course is an overview of human anatomy (i.e., body structure and function), given in preparation for later courses that cover anatomical regions in greater depth.  Special emphasis will be given on the musculoskeletal system. 


Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course, students should be able to have a basic understanding of the macroscopic (gross) structure of the human body.




Teaching Methods for the practical sessions:



  1. Audiovisual anatomical illustrations

  2. Practical sessions using illustrative plastic models

  3. Using clinical scenarios to link anatomical structures to common pathology and injuries of the human bod
