BMS246   Introduction to Human Anatomy   (20 credits)

Description

This practical unit will introduce Level 2 undergraduate students to the anatomy of the human body on both a cellular and gross level. It will give them an opportunity to study the systems of the human body in small groups.  It is designed to enable students to acquire a solid foundation and understanding of the anatomy of the human body, trunk, abdomen, pelvis, upper and lower limbs, neck and the head. The practical sessions will be supported by a series of lectures and assessment will be by examination. Students will be expected to work independently to complete some of the work.  Upon successful completion of the course, students should be well equipped to embark on advanced anatomy courses at Level 3. The focus of this course is to correlate the structure of the human body with function. The location and relationship of structures within the thorax, limbs, abdomen, pelvis and head will be determined through a variety of interactive learning and teaching methods.
