This course will provide students with an overview of the structure of the human body. It consists of a series of lectures and laboratories covering functional anatomy of the human body including the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, thorax, abdomen and pelvis. Areas emphasised are those that will prepare students for a career in research that focuses on the major body systems. The course will also prepare students for subsequent careers in any of the health science disciplines.

Objectives At the end of this course students should be able to describe the following for major organs and structures in the head, limbs, chest and abdomen:

1. Their structure (Gross Anatomy and relevant Histology).
2. Their relationship to other organs and its surface anatomy.
3. Their blood supply, nerve supply, as well as its venous and lymphatic drainage.
4. How the organ's structure relates to its function (i.e. it's physiology).
Content This course will cover the following:
1. Introduction to the anatomy laboratory
2. Overview of the skeleton and joints
3. Upper limb and lower limb anatomy
4. Anatomy of the vasculature
5. Anatomy of the thorax
6. Anatomy of the abdomen
