| DETAILED LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Vertebral column
- Know anatomy of individual vertebrae and
regions of vertebral column--cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral
- Understand formation of vertebra,
intervertebral discs and relationship to notocord during embryonic
development
- Visualize in three dimensions the
relationship between vertebral column, spinal cord and spinal nerves
- Know which vertebrae bear ribs and the
anatomy of the joints/articulations between vertebrae and ribs
Spinal cord
- Visualize in three dimensions the
relationship between vertebral column, spinal cord and spinal nerves
- Understand what kinds of neurons make up
a spinal nerve. Appreciate the scale, size, and number of neurons
in each spinal nerve
- Analyze how spinal cord and spinal
nerves show basic organization of nervous system: two
modalities--sensory and motor; two types of destinations--somatic and
visceral--each with distinct neuron configuration
