Course overview
In this course, students are introduced to the study of anatomy. An overview of anatomical terminology, basic tissue types and a variety of techniques used to visualize the human body will be given followed by a more detailed study of the anatomy of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Anatomical principles and terminology will be applied to relevant body systems and the concept of integrated function of multiple systems in one body region will be introduced through the study of the trunk. Students will be taught via a blended on-line and face-to-face approach.
Course learning outcomes
- Outline relevant anatomical principles to describe the structure and function of body systems.
- Apply relevant anatomical principles to integrate structure and function of body systems within an anatomical region.
- Evaluate and apply information about the human body to develop well-reasoned explanations of body functions.
- Correlate specific structural features of cells, tissues, organs and systems of the human body with their normal functions.
