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
– Limbs
(with Excretion & Reproduc M)
(with Locomotion M)
