Course objectives
The content of the course is practical teaching of bones, joints, muscular system, vascular supply, innervation and regional anatomy of the limbs and back. Teaching will take place at the dissection room using cadaveric material.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to name the anatomical structures of the passive and active locomotor system. Can explain the importance of attachment structures on bones, mechanics, movements in joints and the function of muscle groups. Furthermore, he should be able to assess the normal state of the musculoskeletal system as opposed to the pathological state.
