This course provides a detailed exploration of the anatomy of the upper limb, including the bones, muscles, joints, nerves, and vasculature. Through interactive lectures, visual aids, and practical demonstrations, students will develop a thorough understanding of the structure and function of the upper limb, enabling them to apply this knowledge in clinical settings.

Introduction to Upper Limb Anatomy

Overview of upper limb regions and divisions

Anatomical terminology and planes of reference

Surface landmarks and palpation techniques

Bones and Joints of the Upper Limb

Study of the bones of the upper limb (shoulder girdle, arm, forearm, and hand)

Articulations and classifications of joints (synovial, cartilaginous, and fibrous)

Functional and structural aspects of upper limb joints

Muscles of the Upper Limb

Classification and organization of upper limb muscles (extrinsic and intrinsic)

Detailed study of muscle attachments, actions, and innervation

Functional groups and synergistic muscle actions

Nerves of the Upper Limb

Overview of the brachial plexus and its major branches

Innervation of muscles and cutaneous regions of the upper limb

Clinical relevance and common nerve injuries

Vasculature of the Upper Limb

Arterial supply of the upper limb (subclavian, axillary, brachial, and radial/ulnar arteries)

Venous drainage and superficial veins

Lymphatic drainage and lymph nodes of the upper limb

Clinical Applications and Imaging

Clinical correlations and common upper limb pathologies

Upper Limb Dissection and Practical Anatomy

Virtual or hands-on dissection experiences to explore upper limb structures

Identification of anatomical landmarks and structures through practical activities

Integration of anatomical knowledge with clinical scenarios

Clinical Integration and Case Studies

Application of upper limb anatomy principles in clinical diagnosis and treatment

Analysis of case studies involving upper limb injuries, fractures, and neurological conditions

Collaborative discussions and problem-solving exercises

By the end of this course, students will:

Develop a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the upper limb, including bones, muscles, joints, nerves, and vasculature.

Gain proficiency in identifying and describing the anatomical structures of the upper limb.

Understand the functional relationships between different structures and their clinical relevance.
