Neuroanatomy

Shandong University via XuetangX

Overview

Neuroanatomy is an important part of human anatomy concerned with the study of the structure and function of the nervous system. As the most complex anatomical and functional part in the body, the nervous system regulates and integrates all activities of the body for benefit of the organism as a whole, and makes balance of the external and internal environments in the body.

As one of the main basic courses of medical science, neuroanatomy is the essential foundation of neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, neuroscience, clinical neurology and psychiatry. A knowledge of neuroanatomy and its correlation with function and dysfunction is fundamental to the practice of clinical neurosciences and to prospect of future advances in the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders. It plays a crucial role in the study of the following subjects in the education for medical students.

The contents include the general introduction of nervous system, external shape, internal structure and function of brain and spinal cord, the cranial nerves and spinal nerves, the nervous pathways, as well as the meninges and blood vessels of brain and spinal cord. Furthermore, some typical and common neurological disorders are also embedded in this course.

The goal of this course is to make students understand anatomy and function of the nervous system, master the classical techniques and methods for learning and research of neuroanatomy, and enhance self-study abilities.
