1 Course Introduction | Introduction to Anatomy
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this lab, students will be able to:
- Explain how the course is set up and where to find important information about the course.
- Describe anatomical position and properly use directional terminology with respect to that position.
- Associate how the basic principles of standard radiological methods are used clinically.
- Interpret how cross-sectional anatomy relates to 3D anatomy.
- Explain the function of various bony markings.

Introduction
Welcome to Anatomy & Physiology 338: Human Anatomy Laboratory! In this lab, we will begin with an introduction to this human anatomy lab course. We will discuss the logistics of the course, and you can ask any questions you might have. We also ask that you review the course Canvas website for additional details about the course. We put great effort into providing you with all of the information you need in a user-friendly way on the site. In the future, we ask that you look at the website before emailing questions to TAs or Professors.
After the introduction to the course, you will view a presentation on radiology methods in Canvas. Following the radiology presentation, you will work through four interactive activities: a radiology interactive review, a review of planes of motion, movement, axes, and directional terminology, an introduction to cross-sectional principles, and an introduction to bones and bony markings.
Radiology Presentation
The most common way you will interact with anatomy in a clinical setting is through surface anatomy. Surface anatomy is the anatomy that we can see from the surface of the body. For example, if you look at your knee, you can see where the patella (or kneecap) is located. We will explore surface anatomy throughout the course.
The second most common way you will interact with anatomy in the clinic is through radiological imaging. For this activity, you will listen to a presentation prepared by Dr. Lonie Salkowski, a radiologist at UW Hospital. She will describe the different types of radiological images that you may see in the clinic and show a few examples of cases using these types of imaging. There may be times in the presentation where she uses terminology that you aren’t familiar with, and that’s ok. We will learn some of this terminology throughout the course. The key take-aways that you should get from the presentation are found in the interactive radiology presentation (Activity 1).
