Applied Anatomy
Final Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Applied Anatomy focuses on the practical understanding of the structure and function of the human body as it relates to movement, disease, clinical practice, and therapeutic interventions. The course covers anatomical systems in the context of typical and atypical function, emphasizing their relevance to medical, allied health, and rehabilitation fields. Through a combination of lectures, laboratory dissections, and clinical case discussions, students gain hands-on experience in identifying anatomical structures, understanding their relationships, and applying this knowledge to real-world medical scenarios. This integrated approach prepares students to link anatomical knowledge directly to diagnosis, assessment, and intervention strategies in their future professional practice.
