Anatomical Terms, Planes, Classification

• [ ] Define and demonstrate the following basic terms relative to the anatomical position: medial, median, lateral, proximal, distal, superior, inferior, deep, superficial, palmar, plantar, anterior/ventral, posterior/dorsal, cephalic/cranial, rostral, caudal.
• [ ] Describe the following basic anatomical planes: axial/transverse/horizontal, sagittal and coronal.
• [ ] Define and demonstrate the basic terms used to describe movement: flexion, extension, lateral flexion, pronation, supination, abduction, adduction (radial/ulnar/deviation), medial/internal and lateral/external rotation, inversion, eversion, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, protraction, retraction and circumduction.
• [ ] Define the basic terms somatic and visceral/autonomic when used to describe parts of the body and nervous systems of the body.
• [ ] Describe the key anatomical differences between a neonate, child and adult.

Thorax

• [ ] Demonstrate the main anatomical features and surface landmarks of the thoracic vertebrae, ribs and sternum.
• [ ] Describe the main anatomical features of typical and atypical ribs and recognise their characteristic features.
• [ ] Describe the attachments and relations of the diaphragm and the structures that pass through and behind it. Explain the movements of the diaphragm, its motor and sensory innervation and pleural and peritoneal coverings.
• [ ] Describe the boundaries of the thoracic inlet and outlet and the structures that pass through them and their relations.
• [ ] Describe the arrangement and contents of the superior, anterior, middle and posterior parts of the mediastinum.
• [ ] Demonstrate the surface markings of the, the margins of the pleura and the lobes and fissures of the lungs and explain their clinical relevance.
• [ ] Demonstrate the arrangement of the fibrous and serous layers of the pericardium and relate it to conditions such as cardiac tamponade and pericarditis.
• [ ] Describe the gross anatomical features of the breast and its attendant tissue layers.
• [ ] VIL - Thorax

Abdomen

• [ ] Demonstrate the bony and cartilaginous landmarks visible or palpable on abdominal examination and explain their clinical significance.
• [ ] Demonstrate the surface projections of the abdominal organs onto the four quadrants and nine descriptive regions of the anterior abdominal wall.
• [ ] Identify the landmarks and planes that divide the anterior abdominal wall and thus abdomen into the 9 and 4 region models. Explain how this relates to clinical examination
