This module has been designed to provide a detailed and integrated understanding of structure and function of the major body systems, from both a systematic and a regional anatomy perspective.

A systematic approach to the body has been taken in developing the syllabus. The following is indicative of the content to be covered in this syllabus: • Skull, vertebral column • Structure of the brain and spinal cord • Nerve Conduction (physiology) • Structure of the Upper Limb • Structure of the Lower Limb • Thorax and cardiovascular and respiration systems • Abdomen and gastrointestinal tract • Pelvis, perineum and genitourinary system • Reproductive system structure and function (physiology) • Structure and function the endocrine system (physiology)

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: • Describe in detail the anatomy of the different body regions; • Discuss the organs of the body in the context of their function and their regional anatomy; • Apply knowledge of regional and systematic anatomy towards understanding human health and disease; • Explain the different aspects of anatomy.

The curriculum has been designed to foster enquiry and self-directed learning among students, by ensuring a research informed curriculum and encouraging discussion within a supportive learning environment. This module will be taught via lecture, labs and tutorial. Students will further develop their anatomical skills using our innovative virtual dissection technology and medical imaging. Outside this formal contact the student will be encouraged to develop skills in acquiring information as individual learners as well as working in group learning teams. This module addresses the graduate attributes of curious (providing knowledge and critical thinking), agile (developing the independent and adaptive learner) and articulate (developing inter and intra-personal and collaborative skills). The ethos across the curriculum is to ensure research led teaching. Lecture content will be constantly updated to incorporate new findings in the field of human anatomy.
