In the mandatory Anatomy course, the topographical regions of the chest and abdomen are studied on already dissected specimens, without the possibility for the student to dissect specific anatomical structures. Understanding the complex relationships between structures in space (superficial, deep, front, back, medial, and lateral) is essential for successfully mastering the material from this part of the anatomy.

This elective course is designed to bring the students closer to the complex relationships of anatomical structures through the theoretical part (lectures) and practical teaching (videos and pictures of specimens). Therefore, it is planned to show the anatomical structures prepared by anatomical dissection from superficial to deep with their borders and content.

Goals:

1. Through theoretical classes, students will be introduced to the basic approaches used in the anatomical section, as well as how to dissect the topographical regions of the chest and abdomen. Also,  structures found in the superficial and deep layers of the regions and detailed contents of the regions will be described.

2. In the practical part of the course, prepared videos and pictures of the specimens will be described through interactive work with students. Students will learn to recognize the specific structures on specimens.
