The study of the anatomy of the human body, in relation to clinical medicine.
Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology: Understanding the basic concepts and terminologies used in anatomy and physiology.
Tissues: Knowledge of the different types of tissues such as epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue.
Bones: The study of the different types of bones, their structure, function, and classification.
Joints: A deeper understanding of the different types of joints, their structure, function, and classification.
Skeletal muscle: Studying the gross anatomy and physiology of skeletal muscle, including the structure and function of muscle fibers, connective tissues, and neuromuscular junctions.
Nervous system: Understanding how the nervous system controls the musculoskeletal system.
Osteology: The anatomy and physiology of bones, including bone development, growth, and repair.
Arthrology: The study of joints and their structures.
Myology: The structure and function of muscles, including muscle contraction and relaxation.
Physiology of movement: The study of the mechanical principles that govern movement of the body, including muscle forces, joint forces, and center of mass.
Biomechanics: Understanding the principles of physics that apply to the musculoskeletal system, including joint mechanics, muscular forces, and lever systems.
Clinical applications: The practical applications of anatomy and physiology in clinical practice, including diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders.
Imaging: Understanding different imaging modalities used for diagnosis and evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders, including X-ray, CT scan, MRI, and ultrasound.
Orthopedics: The study of musculoskeletal disorders and their treatment, including surgical and non-surgical interventions.
Physical therapy: Understanding the role of physical therapy in the treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders.
Gross Anatomy: It is the study of the structures that can be seen without a microscope, such as bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.
Microscopic Anatomy: It is the study of the structures that are too small to be seen with the naked eye, such as cells and tissues.
Pathologic Anatomy: It is the study of the changes that occur in the body due to disease, injury, or other pathological conditions.
Radiologic Anatomy: It is the study of the structures of the body as seen on X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and other imaging techniques.
Embryonic anatomy: It is the study of the structures of the developing human embryo.
Comparative Anatomy: It is the study of the similarities and differences in the anatomy of different animals and species.
Surgical anatomy: It is the study of the anatomy that helps the surgeon to operate a specific organ or part of the body.
Systemic Anatomy: It is the study of the different organ systems of the body, such as the digestive system, respiratory system, and reproductive system.
Regional anatomy: It is the study of the anatomy of a specific region of the body, such as the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and limbs.
Neuroanatomy: It is the study of the structure and function of the nervous system.
Osteology: It is the study of the structure and function of bones.
Myology: It is the study of the structure and function of muscles.
Arthrology: It is the study of the structure and function of joints.
Angiology: It is the study of the circulatory system, including the arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Lymphology: It is the study of the lymphatic system.
Endocrinology: It is the study of the endocrine system, including the glands that produce hormones.
Dermatoglyphics: It is the study of the patterns of ridges and grooves on the skin of the fingers, palms, and soles of the feet.
Anthropology: It is the study of the human anatomy, physiology, and biology as it relates to human evolution and diversity.
