Provides an introduction to the functional anatomy of the human body with emphasis on the musculoskeletal system, peripheral vasculature and major nerve trunks. This course contributes to the broad biomedical science foundation required for health graduates. In addition, it provides a firm basis for later courses in organ-based anatomy.

Objectives On successful completion of this course students will be able to :
1. Apply correct anatomical terminology when describing the musculoskeletal elements of the human body.
2. Identify and describe the bone and joint structure, musculature, vasculature and innervation of the upper limb.
3. Identify and describe the bone and joint structure, musculature, vasculature and innervation of the lower limb.
4. Identify and describe the bone and joint structure, musculature, vasculature and innervation of the head and torso.
5. Apply the knowledge gained in this course to describe functional anatomy of the human musculoskeletal system.
