HLSC 4474U – Practical Human Anatomy II: Head, Neck and Upper Limbs

This course introduces the student to the gross and developmental structure of the human body and explores the functional relationships between these structures. In particular, the structure and function of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems as well as that of the joints are emphasized. Learners also determine the clinical significance of structures being studied at embryonic and gross anatomical levels. This course focuses on the head, neck and upper limbs. Learning methods in this course include online lecture, laboratory and tutorial components. Numerous clinical cases are used to demonstrate the interrelationships between the structure and function in health and disease. In addition, this course incorporates anatomical changes and processes that occur during embryonic development, growth and maturation to adulthood.
