Description

This unit provides an introduction to the anatomy of the human body. Using a regional approach, the unit examines the structure of the upper and lower limbs, and the organisation of the major body cavities and their viscera. The anatomical relations of structures of the body, as well as the applied/clinical relevance of surface and deep structures will be investigated.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Identify the major anatomical surface features of the body.
  2. Describe the structure and function of the upper and lower limbs.
  3. Describe the organisation of the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
  4. Describe the anatomy of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems.
  5. Outline the main features of the nervous and endocrine systems.
  6. Outline the significance of the anatomical relations of organs and other structures.
  7. Explain the applied/clinical significance of surface and deep anatomical structures.

Unit Content

  1. Anatomical terminology.
  2. Surface anatomy of the body.
  3. Musculoskeletal anatomy of the upper and lower limb.
  4. Structure of the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
  5. Structure and function of the major components of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, endocrine and nervous systems.
  6. Applied or clinical anatomy of the body and its major organ systems.
