The module will provide students with an understanding of the basic human anatomy that they can relate to the physiology of the human body and to clinical practice. The module introduces anatomy in a clinical context for later study that will further integrate function and structure

Students will be introduced to the structure of the major body systems across a series of lectures. The following is indicative of the content to be covered in this syllabus: • Anatomical Terminology • Introduction to Bones, Cartilage and Muscle • Introduction to skin, fascia and connective tissue • Introduction to Structure of the Cardiovascular system • Introduction to Structure of the Respiratory System • Introduction to Structure of the Digestive System • Introduction to Structure of the Genitourinary System • Introduction to Structure of the Nervous system • Introduction to Structure of the Lymphatic system

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: • Use appropriate anatomical terminology to identify key body structures, body regions, and directions in the body; • Describe basic structural features of the major organ systems within the human body; • Apply their knowledge of human anatomy towards understanding health and disease.

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: • Reflect on the interrelationship between human structure and function.

The curriculum has been designed to foster enquiry and self-directed learning among students, by introducing students to current research and developing reflective skills during the acquisition of knowledge. This module will be taught via lecture, labs and tutorial and will introduce students to 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. In engaging with the module appropriately, students will develop across the following domains of the UL Graduate Attributes: Curious (problem solver and knowledgeable), Agile (independent and open minded) and Articulate (collaborative, strong interpersonal skills)
