Aims
This module aims to help you develop a core knowledge and understanding of human anatomy.
The course consists of a programme of computer-based sessions that explore various anatomical topics. You should work through the material in the scheduled sessions, and complete the quizzes.
In addition to the computer-based sessions there are two gross anatomy practical classes in the anatomy lab when you will have the opportunity to examine human plastic model.
Outline Of Syllabus
Major anatomical systems (including musculoskeletal, nervous, circulation, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, reproductive and immune).
Learning Outcomes
Intended Knowledge Outcomes
On completion of this module, students will be able to:
•Understand and use accepted anatomical language to describe normal structure and relationships.
•Describe the main components of the human skeleton.
•Identify the boundaries of the major body regions/cavities and locate the major organs within and describe their anatomical relationships.
•Identify the anatomical features of the central and peripheral nervous system and outline their function.
•Describe the gross anatomy of the heart and major blood vessels and explain how the structural features of the different main types of blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) relate to their function.
•Describe the functional anatomy of the respiratory system including the structure of the lungs, the microanatomy of the airways and the muscles responsible for respiratory movements.
•Describe the basic structure and function of the immune system, including the location of primary and secondary lymphoid tissues and major lymphatic drainage routes.
•Describe the basic functional anatomy of the gastro-intestinal system, including its associated glands (salivary glands, liver and pancreas).
•Describe the basic functional anatomy of the reproductive and urinary systems in males and females.
Intended Skill Outcomes
On completion of this modules, students will be able to:
•Manage their study time independently.
•Use a computer aided learning package.
•Apply knowledge of normal anatomy to understand the basis of common diseases and injuries.
** Subject to practical delivery style, skills outcomes may change to knowledge outcomes.
