Objectives
- To introduce and develop the anatomical and imaging background of the regions and structures of the head and neck, in order to allow the acquisition and use of this knowledge, by correlating the anatomical aspects with its clinical application;
- To present the developmental anatomy of the head and neck;
- To correlate the normal developmental anatomy with its alterations as the anatomical variations and developmental malformations;
- To describe and demonstrate general aspects of the head anatomy and the superficial regions of the head;
- To describe and demonstrate aspects of the deep regions of the face namely the mouth floor, nasal cavity and perinasal sinuses, infratemporal and pterygopalatine regions;
- To describe and demonstrate the anatomy and topography of the neck regions;
- To demonstrate, in an interactive way, the imaging anatomy of the head;
- To discuss the sectional anatomy of the head and neck;
- To establish correlations with the surgical and clinical anatomy of the head;
- To establish correlations with the surgical and clinical anatomy of the neck.
