Study Notes
Anatomy Course Overview
- Course Code and Name: ANATOMY (BEY 141-E)
- Instructor: Dr. Nasir Mustafa
- Contact: [email protected]
- Course Length: 14 weeks
- Assessment: Assignments, MCQs, attendance, and quizzes
Course Structure
- 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.
