Unit description
This is the first of two on line units that build upon the basic anatomy taught in undergraduate medical programs. The gross anatomy of the human body is revised with an emphasis on clinically oriented and applied anatomy through full body dissection. Discussion of relevant embryology is also included. The unit is delivered via the university iLearn platform and activities are set for students to complete, with follow up quizzes that allow formative self assessment. Topic areas covered include; the anatomy of the head and neck, back, upper and lower limbs. Anatomy 1 is designed to prepare students for the level of anatomical knowledge required for the intensive whole body dissection unit Anatomy 3.
