Body Function and Structure for Health Science

What it covers

This unit provides students with a detailed morphology and function of human anatomical structures and their topographical relationships, as they relate to applied and clinical applications. Topics include gross studies of the thorax, pleura and lungs, pericardium, heart and mediastinum, diaphragm, abdomen, abdominal viscera and inguinal region, peritoneum, pelvic cavity, urogenital system, ear, nose, throat, orbital region and eye. Functional applications will equally be examined in each structure addressed. Combined, students undertaking this unit will be equipped with an advanced knowledge of human form and function, with a strong basis for future reflective application in biomedical sciences and medicine.
