MODULE OBJECTIVES/LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon completion of this module, the student should be able to:
1. articulate the different approaches to the study of human anatomy, and the nomenclature related
thereto.
2. identify the basic components of the skeleton, joints, myology, nervous system, as well as the
radiology/imaging of the human body.
3. identify the component of the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, thoracic wall, diaphragm, trachea,
bronchi and lungs.
4. identify the bony landmarks and surface anatomy of the breast, axillary fossa and fascia of the
shoulder region, muscles, joints, blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves of the upper limb.
5. relate the knowledge gained to the clinical setting..
