Objectives of the Course This course aims to teach anatomical terminology, a universal language, the structure and systematic anatomy of the human body, musculoskeletal morphology, planes and axes of movement, general characteristics of bones, joints, and muscles, innervation characteristics of muscles, detailed descriptions of the movement of each joint, structures supporting the joint, and structures related to the circulatory and lymphatic systems. Within this framework, the course aims to teach students about the human being as a whole and the three-dimensional structure of the body, organs, and tissues.
