Functional anatomy of the musculoskeletal system.
ANAT 331 focuses on different aspects of the human musculoskeletal system, and explores functional and clinical implications of anatomical structure. Dissection of specific body regions is a key component of the laboratory sessions. This, together with associated teaching and assessment tasks, aims to assist students to obtain an in-depth knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy, facilitate recognition of normal and variant anatomy, develop a critical approach to interpreting contemporary anatomy research, and encourage team work and communication skills.
