DPT 6240 Human Anatomy II


Lecture: 3 Lab: 1 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 4
The second of a two-course series completes the study of foundational human gross anatomy and neuroanatomy for the physical therapy student. Instruction continues to focus on the clinical application of functional anatomy to consider patient problems relevant to the physical therapist. Key emphasis in this course is a detailed study of the musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous system of the cervical and thoracic spines, thorax, shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm and hand, to include associated osseous, muscular, nervous and vascular structures. A discussion of facial and temporomandibular joint structures is also provided. Neuroanatomy content provides an in-depth study of the brain, cranial nerves, and nervous system. Gross anatomy of additional body systems including the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, urogenital, and integumentary systems will be discussed with regard to their relevance to physical therapist practice. This course consists of lecture related to the static and dynamic application of applied anatomy along with heavy use of three-dimensional anatomy software, medical imaging, living/surface anatomy, and synthetic human anatomical models in lab sessions for hands on application and learning.
