Course overview

In this course, the anatomical principles and terminology introduced in Biosciences for Human Health B will be applied to the detailed study of the anatomy of the back, lower limb and thorax. The concept of integrated function of multiple body systems will be developed in each region. Teaching will include both online learning and face-to-face teaching sessions including practical classes involving cadaver materials and surface anatomy. Students will work in small groups to identify anatomical structure and function on a living body as you would in a clinical context.

Course learning outcomes

  • Describe normal structure and function of body systems within the vertebral column, and relate this to its role in support and posture.
  • Describe normal structure and function of body systems within the lower limb, and relate this to its role in support, locomotion and posture.
  • Describe normal structure and function of body systems in the thoracic region, and relate this to its role in respiration and circulation.
  • Use appropriate medical terminology, to accurately describe anatomical structures or events and infer their relationship to function.
