This laboratory section provides a systematic study of human gross anatomy through the examination of the skeletal, muscular, nervous, and vascular systems. Beginning with laboratory safety and anatomical orientation, students investigate the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and arteries of the upper and lower extremities, trunk, thorax, neck, and skull. Emphasis is placed on anatomical identification, spatial relationships, and the integration of body systems, culminating in summary exercises that reinforce structural organization and functional connections across the human body.
