| Study course description | |||||||||
| Preliminary Knowledge: | The compulsory course “Human Anatomy, including Dissection Course” completed. Knowledge of anatomy and biology. | ||||||||
| Objective: | The students should acquire knowledge of the topography of anatomical structures (organs, blood vessels, nerves), their external and internal landmarks, disease development mechanisms and complications in the clinical aspect. Acquire knowledge of the history of anthropology in the world and Latvia. | ||||||||

| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | Upon completion of the study course, the students will know and will be able to describe the relationship of human body organs, blood vessels, nerve location areas (places) to the skeleton (bones) and to the surrounding organs; their external projection in the human body, functions of the blood vessels, nerve blocks, functions of the cavities of the coverings of the brain and points (places) in anaesthesia. Upon completion of the study course the students will be able to enumerate and describe the most important anthropometric measurements on the human body; evaluate and compare the human body proportions and correlation between separate parts of the body and changes and trends over different age periods, ethnic and gender groups; describe the role of separate anthropometric measurements: height, stretch, circumference, skin-fold thickness, and list the influencing factors; define different body proportion indices and formulate how to calculate them. | ||||||||
| Skills: | The students will be able to find and show the organs, blood vessels and nerves on the human cadaver, their projection on the human external surface of the body; they will be able to find and demonstrate functions of the blood vessels, nerve blocks, points in anaesthesia; the students will be able to apply the knowledge of topographical anatomy in the clinic, they will be able to work with professional literature. Students will be able to find the somatometric points on the head and the human body; measure the skin-fold thickness; define parameters of the plantogram and separate body proportion indices. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | The students will be able to use the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired by skilfully explaining and demonstrating various anatomical structures and their topography in natural preparations and visuals. | ||||||||
