Learning Outcomes:
Following successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. Explain the classification and structure of bones and joints.
2. Describe regional anatomy of the upper and lower limbs.
3. Identify and label diagrams and images of anatomical structure, osteological specimens, and sectional anatomy.
4. Identify surface anatomical features on the human model.
5. Apply anatomical knowledge to clinical scenarios relevant to sports medicine.
