Course Description
This is a laboratory-based course that student investigates and learn the structure and function of the Head and Neck structures. Topics covered will include the basic organization of the Head and Neck, related fascia, scalp, orbit, mimic muscles, masticatory muscles, upper and lower hyoid muscles, superficial and deep neck muscles, head and neck region vessels, nerves and lymphatics, neck triangles, temporal, infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossae along with the impact of diseases on these systems. One of the goals of this course is to prepare students with the skills necessary to be successful in future medical classes in clinics and to be able to diagnose punctually and treat their patients properly in related medical fields.
