Course objectives
Main objectives can be summarized as follows: to provide a complete overview to morphology, structure and composition of human skeletal system to summarize factors influencing the morphogenesis during the pre- and post-natal development to provide knowledge of elements, structure and composition of human bone tissue, growth, development and maturity of human skeleton, metabolism and biomechanics and human bones, essentials and magnitude of sexual dimorphism on each and every level of human skeletal system, pathologically- and culturally-induced skeletal modifications and macro and microevolutionary trends
