Human anatomy is a science dealing with the morphology and structure of the
human body.
Anatomy is one of the foundational subjects in medicine, and one-third of the medical terms come from anatomy.
Gross Anatomy can further be divided into Systematic Anatomy and Regional Anatomy.
Regional Anatomy is the subject dealing with morphology, structure and adjacent organs of the normal human body according to body parts.
Regional Anatomy is taught following the Systemic Anatomy which the students have studied.
Course Description:
The teaching of Regional Anatomy is mainly through the students dissecting the cadavers themselves.
Regional Anatomy is composed of dissection of six parts: head, neck, thorax, abdomen, upper limb and lower limb.
The teaching goals are to understand and master the normal layers, position and adjacent organs and structures of the human body.
Study of Regional Anatomy provides the necessary morphological basis for the following clinical medical courses.
Teaching methods
Complied “3 basic 5 characteristics” during the teaching course.
They are “basic theory, basic knowledge, basic skill” and “ideal, science, enlighten, advanced, apply”.
Train eligibility advanced medical specialty personnel.
The faculties give a lecture on schedule in the classroom using the multimedia audio-visual equipment.
Teachers help students voluntarily study themselves, apply PBL (Problem based learning) properly to make students acquire knowledge through independent thought.
Good model specimen and corpse specimen preparation for practice enhance the knowledge learned.
Encourage students to discuss and question in class and maintain an experimental atmosphere.
Teach students to learn how to dissect corpses and train their learning process and dissection skills.
