Course Name MED115 - Anatomy & Embryology
Course Description
Anatomy and Embryology course consists of both lectures and laboratory sessions. The course is intended to introduce the fundamental concepts of gross anatomy, including definitions, subdivisions, and approaches to studying gross anatomy, medical terminology, and medical imaging techniques. This will be followed by a systematic study of the human body covering the general shape, structure, and location of all organs related to different systems as a basis for the topographic study of anatomy, which will be discussed in subsequent modules. Meanwhile, the functional aspects of human anatomy will be integrated with the structure, and the clinical significance of anatomical relationships will be introduced when appropriate. Additionally, the course will introduce students to basic concepts of general embryology. Hence, students will be introduced to the major events during gametogenesis, fertilization, implantation, and subsequent changes during the first eight weeks of development. Furthermore, mechanisms of morphogenesis and development of congenital anomalies will be discussed as needed for subsequent study of specific embryology related to modules, including the development of the various systems, and associated congenital anomalies.
