MEDS1002: Essentials of Human Anatomy

2024 unit information

Essentials of Human Anatomy will explore the anatomy behind human body function and structure. This introduction to human anatomy will teach you the language of anatomy and develop your knowledge and practical skills in human anatomy and histology. You will also consider the processes of body donation and the ethical, legal and moral frameworks around which people donate their remains for anatomical learning, teaching and research. Studying the structure of body organs and systems will give insights into how the human body works and this will be related to dysfunction and disease allowing you to apply this to your subsequent learning.
