INTRODUCTION
Allocated Time:
Review:
5 Minutes
You have had previous lectures on anatomy and physiology during the Combat
medic course, this lecture will built upon what you have already learned.
Objective:
This chapter introduces the details of the bones of the appendicular
skeleton, with the appendicular skeleton divided into the pectoral and
pelvic girdles and the upper and lower extremities. Bone markings,
functions, and articulations with adjacent bones are covered. Clinical
applications that are covered include fractured clavicle, knock-knee and
bowleg, patellofemoral stress syndrome, and flatfoot, clawfoot, and
clubfoot. Hip fracture is discussed in the disorders section.
Importance:
Nursing Assistants work in different health care setting so it is important to
gain an understainding of this subject as it will apply to clinical setting.
Fit:
This is the eighth chapter on anatomy and physiology.
Approach:
You will be presented the subject in a lecture format and will be tested using a
written exam at a later date.
Control Statement:
If you have any questions during the lesson please feel free to ask.
