An introduction to the basic anatomical organisation of mammals, including the human. Emphasis is placed on gross anatomy of the mammalian visceral systems (circulatory, respiratory, elimentary, urinary and reproductive) and the locomotor system (bones, joints and muscles of the spine and limbs). In laboratory practical sessions, anatomy is studied through dissection and using prosected specimens.
Aims:
The aim is to give an insight into the biological principles relating structure to function of the mammalian body systems. Students from a wide variety of backgrounds will learn basic anatomical terminology, and detailed gross anatomy of the mammalian visceral and locomotor systems.
At the end of this unit, students should be able to:
lectures,
laboratory practicals,
eBiolab sessions
