Course Aims

This course is designed as a stand‐alone subject for students who will benefit from knowledge of basic anatomy.


The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the structural organisation of the human body at a gross (macroscopic) and histological (microscopic) level, i.e. the position, form and structure of organs and ‘systems’. The course is designed to provide an understanding of the human body that underpins its functioning and medical and biomedical engineering designs. The course provides an overview of the structure of the major components of each of the body systems, and includes an overview of the microscopic structure of its tissues. The course is strengthened by an emphasis on the relationship between structure and function. In addition, students will gain familiarity with anatomical and medical terminology and their meanings.


Students are provided the opportunity to appreciate and value the medical sciences especially anatomy and at the end of the course, to leave with an increased sense of awareness and value of the human body and improved capacity to make informed decisions regarding health.
