Course Overview

  • this will teach you about the anatomy of different systems of the human body and how it relates to growth, development, various injuries and disorders; 
  • you will get a chance to work with the prosected human cadaveric specimens, medical images such as CT and MRI scans; 
  • will increase your practical skills, improve your problem-solving and image interpretation skills, help you understand why fundamental anatomy and imaging are so important to understanding human health and disease; 
  • this will focus on the anatomy of pelvis, perineum, head, neck and brain;

Course Description

The course is practical based and thus consists of student led group work centred on prosections of cadavers and a workbook that is handed out at the beginning of the course. Other resources used are anatomical models and other teaching resources on MyAberdeen. The course concentrates on the study of the reproductive system (pelvis and perineum), and the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and special senses (eye and ear), respiratory, alimentary and cardiovascular systems as they are arrayed in the head and neck.

Further Information & Notes

This course is restricted to students on the degree of BSc Biomedical Sciences. The practical work required in this course may pose difficulties to students with some disabilities.
