Why do you need to study anatomy?
• A doctor should be able to localize symptoms and signs
– Pains
– Lumps/bumps
– Withdrawing of blood & giving injections
– Basic medical procedures
Why do you need to study anatomy?
• Surgeons need to know what they
cut
– Where to cut
– How to find the structures/organs
– Relationship of stuctures/organs
– Normal variations
Subsections in the study of Anatomy
• Dissections/Macroscopic structure
• Histology/Microscopic structure
• Embryology
• Genetics
Dissection is done in regions
– Head and neck (with Nervous control M)
– Thorax (with Res. Gas exch. M, Blood & Circula M)
– Abdomen (with Alimentation M)
– Pelvis & Perineum (with Excretion & Reproduc M)
– Limbs (with Locomotion M)
