Share Description
This anatomy course will take you through the organs involved in our food digestion as well as the most common causes of abdominal and pelvic pain. The most recent graphics and animations will assist you in discovering new insights and understanding of this part of the body, which has been the focus of anatomical research for centuries and is currently arousing renewed scientific interest. You will investigate the 3D anatomy of the organs, beginning with a fundamental understanding of anatomy and progressing to its advanced application in surgical procedures. This course will challenge you to discover and comprehend the anatomy of the abdomen and pelvis in all of its facets, from embryological underpinnings to gross topography and clinical applications.
The course is unique in that it connects basic anatomical knowledge from the lab with medical applications and current diagnostic techniques on a continuous basis. In forum discussions, you will have the opportunity to discuss anatomical and clinical problems with peers and experts, and you will be guided in exploring the wealth of anatomical information accumulated over the centuries.
