a brief overview of all the systems is dealt in the books. The various systems of the body are as follows:

(a) Integumentary system (study of skin and its appendages)
(b) Skeletal system (study of bones)
(c) Articular system/arthrology/syndesmology (study of joints)
(d) Muscular system (study of muscles)
(e) Nervous system (study of neural tissue)
(f) Cardiovascular system (deals with heart and associated blood vessels)
(g) Lymphatic system (study of lymphoid tissue and lymph vessels)
(h) Endocrine system (study of ductless glands)
(i) Digestive system (study of structures concerned with digestion)
(j) Respiratory system (study of structures concerned with respiration)
(k) Reproductive system (study of structures concerned with reproduction)
(l) Urinary system (study of structures concerned with the formation and disposal of urine)
N.B.
• The term locomotor system includes osteology, arthrology and myology.
• The term splanchnology deals with the study of the visceral organs of respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive and endocrine systems.

1. Gross (topographical) anatomy: study on cadavers by dissection and observation of structures by naked eye. In gross anatomy the structures are either studied:-
• Region-wise (regional anatomy) or
• System-wise (systemic anatomy).

(a). Regional anatomy approach in which all the structures in a particular region of the body are studied at the same time. The body is dissected region-wise. Since the regional anatomy deals with several system located in a particular region of the body, this approach of studying anatomy is most useful to the clinicians, particularly the surgeons who need to concentrate mostly on a limited region during surgery. Therefore, regional approach is the most preferred method of anatomy all over the world. Conventionally, the body is divided into the following six regions:
1. Head and neck
2. Brain
3. Thorax
4. Abdomen
5. Upper limb
6. Lower limb

(b) Systemic anatomy: approach in which all the structures forming a particular system are studied together at the same time. A system consists of related
organs which have a common function. The systemic anatomy provides comprehensive knowledge of a particular system throughout the body; hence, it is most useful for the physicians. In Indian subcontinent the gross anatomy is generally taught by regional approach. Therefore, a brief overview of all the systems is dealt in the books. The various systems of the body are as follows:

A massive food import is about to begin in Nigeria to crash the prices of some items including rice, maize, flour and others. The Nigeria Customs Service has set the date for Nigerians to begin the import of cheaper food items. Details in comments.

HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

INTRODUCTION
Anatomy is the science which deals with the structure of the body from macroscopic to the microscopic level. Human anatomy has for long been studied through dis-section of cadavers (preserved dead bodies), which served as the basis for understanding the structure and functions of the human body. The understanding of structural organization of the human body is essential so that the doctor knows which structure is affected in disease, which structure is being examined by him and which structure is being cut by him during operation.

The term anatomy is derived from the Greck word anatome meaning to cut up. The term dissection is the Latin equivalent of the Greek term anatome and in the past the word anatomize was more commonly used than the word dissect. Earlier, the human anatomy was a descriptive science
primarily concerned with identifying and naming the body structures, but today the importance of anatomy lies in its functional approach and clinical applications. Therefore, presently, human anatomy is a practical applied science that forms the firm foundation of the practice of medicine (i.e. art of healing).

SUBDIVISIONS OF ANATOMY
In the past, anatomy was studied mainly by dissection, but nowadays, it is studied by all possible ways and techniques like imaging. microscopy, etc. Different approaches have been adopted to study anatomy. Based on this, anatomy is divided into following types:
1. Gross anatomy/topographical anatomy
2. Microscopic anatomy (histology)
3. Surface anatomy
4. Comparative anatomy
5. Physical anthropology
6. Living anatomy
7. Clinical anatomy
8. Radiological anatomy
9. Developmental anatomy/embryology
10. Genetics
11. Experimental anatomy.

Dear members/participants and followers, PENDRAGON MEDICAL CARES INITIATIVES (PMCI). We are excited to embark on a journey of discovery and knowledge-sharing with you. Over the next few days, we will be exploring three fascinating COURSES:

1. Human Anatomy and Physiology: Understanding the intricate structures and functions of the human body.
2. Epidemiology: Examining the distribution, patterns, and determinants of health-related events and diseases.
3. Clinical Skills: Developing essential skills for effective patient care and diagnosis.

Through interactive discussions, engaging lessons, and collaborative learning, we aim to create knowledgeable and educative students and practitioners where we can grow and learn together. We invite you to share your thoughts, ask questions, and participate actively in our discussions.

Please share your views, expectations, and any questions you may have about this learning journey. We look forward to hearing from you and starting this adventure together.

As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, it's clear that our future depends on our ability to transition to renewable energy sources. By harnessing the power of solar, wind, and other renewable energies, we can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and significantly decrease greenhouse gas emissions. This shift is crucial for mitigating the devastating impacts of climate change, from rising sea levels to extreme weather events. Let's unite in our quest for a healthier planet and a better future for all. Now is the time for breakthrough

.

The future thanks you.
