| DESCRIPTION | Anatomy of the integument, thorax, upper limb and back. The study-units aims at giving a good knowledge of anatomy with focus on a clinical aspect. By the end of the study-unit, the students should have achieved the following objectives: The integument - To know the structure of the integument and the clinical application of lines of cleavage. - To understand the different degrees of burns Thorax - To understand the organization of the structures within the thorax, thoracic inlet and outlet and how these are related to function. - To know the musculoskeletal structure of the thoracic wall, including the structure of the sternum, typical rib and joints within the thoracic wall. - To know the changes in the thoacic wall with age and understand the trauma caused by fractures of the ribs. - To know the structure of the diaphragm, its origins,insertion and openings. - To understand the role of the different thoracic muscles and the diaphragm in the movements involved in inspiration and expiration. - To know the structure of the lungs,pleurae and bronchial tree including their arterial supply, venous drainage, nerve supply and lymphatic drainage. - To know the structure and clinical importance of bronchopulmonary segments. - To understand the importance of lymphatic drainage of the bronchial tree in cases of bronchial carcinoma. - To know the structure of the heart and pericardium, the circulation of blood within the heart and the arrangement of the large vessles. - To know the coronary circulation and its importance in myocardial ischaemia and infarction. - To understand the arrangement of the structures in the superior and posterior mediastinum. - To know the important nerves in the thorax, in particular the passage and supply of the phrenic and vagus nerves. - To know the structure, arterial, venous and nerve supply of the oesophagus and to understand its relations. - To know the passage of the thoracic duct and its drainage. Upper Limb - To understand the organization of the different systems of the upper limb. - To know the name of the bones and identify bony landmarks in the upper limb. - To understand the arterial supply, venous and lymphatic drainage. - To understand the structure of the shoulder joint, elbow joint and wrist joint and to know the major muscle groups that bring about movements at these joints. - To understand the anatomical arrangment in the hand. - To understand the nerve supply of the upper limb. - To learn the brachial plexus and the clinical presentation of brachial plexus injuries. - To know the segmental innervation of the different movements in the upper limb. - To understand the dermatomes of the upper limb. - To know the distribution of the radial, median and ulnar nerves and the clinical presentaiton of their injuries. Back - To know the structure of the vertebral column, ligaments and articulations. - To understand the muscles which cause flexion and extension of the spine. Reading List: - Principles of Anatomy and Physiology by Tortora and Grabowski. |
