introduction to the limbs
bones: explain and contrast the basic mechanisms of intramembranous and endochondral bone development; outline the properties of bone, and recall the different types of bone organisation in relation to function; recall the mechanisms of appositional growth of bones, long-bone elongation and bone remodeling. Understand the basic mechanisms involved in bone fracture healing

cards
introduction to the limbs
limbs development: describe the early process in limb development that results in the differences in flexion/extension movements between the upper and lower limbs

cards
introduction to the limbs
organisation of the limbs: describe the skeletal and regional organisation of the upper and lower limbs, and describe the organisation the neuromuscular compartments of the limbs, and their main innervation, blood supply and functions; describe the basic organisation of the nerve plexuses of the limbs and their importance in understanding the consequences of spinal and peripheral nerve damage
