Anatomy
Module Description
This foundational module offers a comprehensive exploration of the human body's structure, from the microscopic to the macroscopic level. Through detailed study of anatomical regions, organ systems, and the developmental processes that lead to their formation, students will gain a profound understanding of the body's architecture and its functional implications. Incorporating hands-on dissection and clinical case studies, the module aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and its practical application in medicine. This foundational understanding is critical for diagnosing diseases, performing clinical procedures, and appreciating the intricate relationships that sustain human health and function.
Module Goals
To provide a comprehensive understanding of the human body's anatomical structures and their functional significance.
To elucidate the embryological development of the human body, connecting developmental mechanisms with the anatomical variations observed in adults.
To develop a foundation for applying anatomical knowledge to clinical scenarios, facilitating the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.
Module Learning Objectives
By the end of this module, students will:
