This unit provides an introduction to the basic anatomical organisation and tissue structure of various species, including human. Emphasis is placed on understanding how structures are adapted for the functions they perform.
Following on from the Anatomical Science 1A Unit, the anatomy of the remaining body systems will be studied with reference to their embryonic development, microscopic structure, macroscopic structure and basic function. Introduction to anatomical variations and applications will also form part of the Unit as a preview to second year anatomy units.
Aims
This unit aims to provide students from varied disciplines with a foundation in the principles of anatomical design. Students will explore the concepts behind structural and functional adaptations in different species.
This unit has been designed to complement other biomedical science units.
Explain the relationship between the structure and function of the following areas:
Identify key anatomical structures and describe their basic function
Describe the variation in structure between relevant species
Outline the development of the body from cells of the embryo to established organ systems
This unit will be delivered by a combination of online learning opportunities such as lectures, interactive resources and practicals. Practicals, including study of cadaveric specimens, will be delivered via a blended approach using online and in-person delivery.
