Unit description
This is an introductory unit which presents the basic concepts in gross anatomy, histology and embryology. All systems of the human body are introduced and described at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. The unit also focuses on clinical and surface anatomy. Anatomical models, histology slides and medical imagery are used in the practical sessions. |

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- ULO1: Adopt and be able to use anatomical terminology: define and understand the anatomical position, anatomical planes, sections and directional terms.
- ULO2: Describe different levels of structural organisation of the human body.
- ULO3: Name and identify the four basic tissues and describe the major characteristics of each.
- ULO4: Describe the major developmental events that occur during the embryonic and foetal periods.
- ULO5: Describe the microscopic and macroscopic anatomy of all systems of the human body and explain their functions: Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Nervous, Endocrine, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Reproductive
- ULO6: Apply the knowledge of anatomy within clinical contexts.
- ULO7: Demonstrate an awareness of the importance of showing appreciation and respect for those who have bequeathed their bodies or parts of to anatomical education.
