The course is to study the normal morphology and structures of human body. It is an important basic course for clinical medicine. Students will master locations and shapes of organs and the relationships between different organs in human body. Students also need to master the ability to dissect and observe the specimen.The course will provide a basis for other nonclinical and clinical study.

Course Objectives:

  1.To know normality, variation and abnormality. To know how to describe the structures of human body. To know the relationships between the structure and function, internal structure and surface landmark. To know the development of the organ.

2.To master the composition, structures and functions of the organs of human body. To identify the bony and muscular landmarks.

Course Requirements:

  1.Self-study. Students were required to practice specimen and read textbook by themselves for accomplishing their objectives. Teachers only introduce some important contents except the nervous system.

  2.Basic skill. Students were required to systematically observe and state the gross and microscope structures of human organs. Students should master to dissect, peel off, expose and check organs.

  3.Exercise students’ ideas and let them know relations between sectional anatomy and clinical medicine through discussing the case.

  4.Students were organized to attend study group, which read references, write review and report them.

  5. Students were organized to attend scientific research group, which train students in the scientific research skills under the supervise of teachers with full experience.

  6.Foreign language. Students master the anatomical terms and words from reference.

Course Contents:

  Include introduction, locomotor system, splanchnology, angiology, sensory organs, nervous system and endocrine system.
