Goal of instruction: to provide the prospective physician with essential knowledge of systemic, topographical, functional and clinical anatomy and to develop basis for competent clinical judgement by means of appropriately designed lectures and practical classes.
After completing the course in anatomy the medical student should be able not only to describe particular anatomical structures, but above all state the locations and relationships of the organ in a cadaver aswell as a living individual; inform whether the organ is palpable through the integument (bones, joints, muscles, vessels, nerves and parts of organs) and describe its appearance on X-ray, CT scan, and ultrasound and MR visualisation..
Subjects of lectures: deal with selected problems of organogenesis (including common developmental malformations), neuroanatomy, topography, functional and clinical anatomy. Lectures are coordinated with practical classes and correspond to instruction in other subjects, e.g., histologyand physiology.
Bone classification. The classification and movements of synovial joints. Anatomy of the vertebral column and thorax. Mechanical movementsof the thorax and practical aspects of structure of bone and junctions in the trunk and extremities. The pelvis. Skeleton of the head. Fossae and canals of the skull.
