Learning Objectives
Back, part 1

1. Discuss the structural and functional anatomy of the muscles of the back, including
origins and insertions, range of motion (ROM), neurovascular supply and relationships
with other structures superficial and deep to them.
2. Identify the structures in the back in gross dissection and via sectional views along
anatomic planes, as seen in Visible Body Courseware.
3. List at least 3 anatomic relationships for every structure identified and be able to
describe them using anatomic terms of location.
4. Identify specific peripheral nerves and discuss what modalities (sensory v. motor;
somatic v. autonomic) it carries and be able to trace the pathway this information takes
to and from the spinal cord.
5. Compare and contrast the embryology of the structures seen in this dissection,
especially with respect to germ layer origins.
6. Compare and contrast the structures seen in dissection at the microscopic level and be
able to identify the tissue types that comprise them by light microscopy.
