    • Course Content: Introduces anatomy & its key concepts, explores locomotory system (bones, joints, muscles), nervous system, circulatory system, and respiratory system.
    • Midterm Exam: at the end of week 8
    • Final Exam: at the end of week 14

    Weekly Learning Outcomes (Week 3)

    • Understanding the significance of anatomy in studying the human body
    • Classifying bones into categories: long, short, flat, and irregular
    • Describing the macroscopic structure of a typical long bone
    • Learning the microscopic structure of bone, roles of osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts
    • Explaining the key functions of bones, such as support, protection, and blood cell formation
    • Learning about bone formation, including intramembranous and endochondral ossification
    • Understanding bone remodeling and healing after fractures

    Bones

    • Bones are rigid structures that provide support, protection, mineral storage, blood cell production, and aid in movement.
    • Bones are made of a tough outer layer (compact bone) and a spongy inner layer (spongy bone).

    The Human Skeletal System

    • Consists of 206 bones, joints, and cartilage.
    • Provides structural support, protects organs, enables movement, and stores minerals.
    • Divided into the axial skeleton (skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage) and the appendicular skeleton (limbs and girdles).

    The Axial Skeleton

    • Consists of 80 bones forming the central axis of the body.
    • Skull: Cranium and facial bones.
    • Vertebral column: Cervical, thoracic, lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, and coccyx.
    • Thoracic cage: 12 pairs of ribs and sternum.

    The Appendicular Skeleton

    • Consists of 126 bones involved in movement and limb support.
    • Pectoral girdle: Clavicles and scapulae.
    • Upper limbs: Humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges
    • Pelvic girdle: Hip bones.
    • Lower limbs: Femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges

    Ribs

    • There are 12 pairs of ribs, each terminating anteriorly with a costal cartilage.
    • True Ribs: The upper seven pairs articulate directly with the sternum.
    • False Ribs: The lower five pairs do not articulate directly with the sternum.

    Clavicle

    • A long bone, S-shaped, supporting the shoulder and transmitting limb weight to the sternum.
    • Medial end: Articulates with the sternum.
    • Lateral end: Articulates with the acromion of the scapula.
    • Surfaces: Superior (smooth, muscle attachments) and inferior (rougher, tuberosities, grooves).
    • Borders: Anterior (muscle attachments) and posterior (conoid tubercle, trapezoid line).

    Ulna

    • A long bone in the forearm, articulating with the humerus at the elbow joint and with the radius at both the proximal and distal radioulnar joints
    • Supinator Crest: A ridge that provides attachment for the supinator muscle.
    • Nightstick Fracture: A fracture of the midshaft of the ulna.

    Carpal Bones (Wrist Bones)

    • These bones allow complex wrist movements (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction).
    • Form articulations with the metacarpal bones of the hand and the bones of the forearm (radius).
    • Proximal row: Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform.
    • Distal row: Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate.

    Metacarpals (Bones of the hand)

    • There are five metacarpals in each hand.
    • Each metacarpal has a base, body, and head.
    • Base (proximal): Articulates with the distal row of carpal bones.
    • Head (distal): Articulates with the proximal phalanges.

    Phalanges (Finger Bones)

    • Each digit has three phalanges: proximal, middle, and distal (except for the thumb, which has two).
    • Each phalanx has a base, body, and head.
    • Decrease in size from proximal to distal.

    Carpal Tunnel

    • The carpal bones form an arch, and the flexor retinaculum (a ligament) converts this arch into a tunnel.
    • The tendons of long flexor muscles and the median nerve pass through this tunnel.
    • Compression of the median nerve can cause pain and wasting of the thenar muscles.

    Teaching Methods and Techniques

    • Lectures: Traditional delivery of large amounts of content efficiently
    • ** Presentations:** Interactive sessions with discussion and hands-on practice
    • Group Projects: Collaborative work encouraging teamwork and application of concepts
    • Problem-Based Learning (PBL): Students work on complex, real-world problems, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
    • Flipped Classroom: Students review lecture material at home and engage in interactive activities during class time.
    • Online Learning Modules: Use of digital platforms for flexible learning, quizzes, and interactive activities
    • Assessments & Feedback: Regular evaluation through quizzes, exams, and assignments with constructive feedback.
