i A GUIDE TO HUMAN ANATOMY Emmanuel N. Obikili ii A GUIDE TO HUMAN ANATOMY The aim of this guide is to help students know the course content, anatomical terminologies, and the type of questions to expect and how to prepare for examinations in Anatomy. Lecture notes on selected topics have been included as a guide. Although the guide is primarily meant for students preparing for examinations in Anatomy, it will also be useful to clinical students and resident doctors. I am very grateful to Dr. C. O. Ohaegbulam for painstakingly going through the manuscripts and for preparing one of the lecture notes. I also wish to express my gratitude to Dr. W. C. Mezue, Rev Dr. T. C. Awuzie, Dr. C. Okpalike, E. O. Ewunonu and the other members of staff of Anatomy Department for their encouragement. Finally, I wish to thank Prof. F. C. Akpuaka who prompted me to write this guide. This guide is dedicated to my past, present and future students. All rights reserved. No part of the lecture notes may be reproduced in any form without the written permission of the author.
