Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine Sumy State University Medical Institute SUPPOR TING and LOCOMOTOR APPARATUS STUDY GUIDE Recommended by the Academic Council of Sumy State University Sumy Sumy State2 University 2015 INTRODUCTION Human anatomy is a scientific study of the structure of the human respect to all its functions and mech a- nisms of its development. By studying the structure of separate organs and systems in close connection with their functions, anat o- my looks into a person`s organism as a unit, which develops basing on the regularities under the influence of internal and external factors during the whole process of evolution. The purpose of this subject is to study the structure of organs and systems of a person, features of the body structure of the person in comparison with animals, revealing the anatomic frames of the age, sexual and individual variability, to study the adaptation of the form and structure of the organs to varying condi- tions of function and existence. Such functional and anatomic, evolutionary and causal treatment of the i n- formation about morphological features of an organism of a person in a course of anatomy has huge value for clinical manifestation as it promotes comprehension of the nature of a healthy and sick person. This educational and methodical practical work is based on the sample of educational and working p ro- grams on human anatomy according to the credit-modular system of the organization of the educational pro- cess. It is directed toward the assistance to the students and teachers in the organization and realization of the most effective methods of studying and teaching of this subject. 3 topic; - to interpret visualized results of clinical methods of 1.
