In this course students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the morphology and function of the human body. Students will learn the normal structure and function of the human body and will be given an insight into the implications of disruption of these. A combination of lectures, online multimedia resources, tutorials and practical sessions will address topics covering all systems of the human body. In weekly practical sessions, students will have the opportunity to examine prosected human cadaveric specimens and models of the human body where they will be given further opportunities to develop their critical thinking skills related to the human body in health and disease.
