Course objectives
The main aims of this course are:
-acquire basic abilities for tissue preparation
-find anatomical structures on the head, neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis including internal organs using anatomical dissection
-connect theoretical knowledge of the structures on the head, neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis with their real composition
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to:
1. Define topographical regions of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis
2. Identify basic anatomical structures (bones, joints, viscera, vessels, and nerves) in the regions of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis
3. Demonstrate practically particular organs of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis at the human cadaver
4. Review arrangement of layers from the superficial to deep in all regions of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis
5. Distinguish abnormalities of the prosections.

Teacher's information
The completion of the subject is assessed by the course-unit credit. A precondition for obtaining the course-unit credit is 100% attendance and demonstration of basic knowledge during the course. The student who fails the 100% attendance due to an illness (after the presentation of a medical certificate) substitutes the course to the full extent during the examination period of the semester. The course takes 20 hours. The detailed schedule will be posted in the study material just previous to the dissection weeks, that are hold during the 15th week of tution. The dissection test exam is part of the final exam and is held on the date of the final ANATOMY exam. A minimum of 6 out of 10 possible points (grade E) is required for continuation to oral part of exam. A student has to wear the lab coat, respirator, gloves and plastic shoe covers, use the anatomical tweezer 14.5 or 16 cm long, and scalpel handle No. 4 with scalpel blades No. 23 or 21. A precondition for obtaining the course-unit credit is to fill the Anatomical dissection protocols and save them in aVLAN0121c Anatomy I.dissection - Homework Vaults by the specified date.
