| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit will cover the practical aspects of the different areas of Human Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, particularly focussing on the gastro-intestinal system, head and neck and neuroanatomy. Study-unit Aims: The aim is to help students understand the different areas of human anatomy, histology and embryology, through the use of dissected human prosections from donated bodies, histological slides, as well as clinical sessions on healthy individuals. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - describe the gross and microscopic aspects of the human body, in health and disease, particularly focussing on the gastro-intestinal system, head and neck and neuroanatomy; - explain the anatomical structures on dissected prosections, particularly involving the gastro-intestinal system, head and neck and neuroanatomy; - describe the common clinical signs and tests used in diagnosis of conditions affected the gastro-intestinal system, head and neck and the central nervous system; - explain the different anatomical systems of the human body; - describe how the different systems function together in a co-ordinated manner in health; and - discuss how functioning of the different systems can be disrupted in pathological conditions. 2. Skills By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - identify different structures of the whole human body, both at gross and at microscopic level, including the head and neck, nervous system, gastrointestinal system; - apply knowledge of anatomy to identify different clinical signs and examinations both in health and disease; - integrate anatomical knowledge of the different regions of the body, especially in common pathological conditions; - identify the anatomical structures on dissected prosections, particularly involving the gastro-intestinal system, head and neck and neuroanatomy; and - identify common clinical signs and tests used in diagnosis of conditions affected the gastro-intestinal system, head and neck and the central nervous system.
