OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS

Objectives of the Course Unit: This course aims to provide students with knowledge of the anatomical characteristics of cells, tissues, organs, and systems that constitute the normal structure of the human body; to develop an understanding of the structural relationships among organs and systems; and to enable students to use anatomical knowledge accurately and safely in professional practice.
Contents of the Course Unit: The content of this course includes an introduction to anatomy and fundamental concepts; anatomical planes and directional terminology of the human body; the skeletal system, muscular system, circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, reproductive system, nervous system, endocrine system, and the anatomical structure of the sensory organs.
