Course overview
Applied Human Anatomy enables students to develop an integrated understanding of the structural and functional relationships within the human body and to apply this knowledge in clinical and disease contexts. The curriculum is organised into three regionally based modules – thorax; abdomen and pelvis; and head and neck - each addressing the relevant anatomy of key organs and systems. Through the study of prosected human cadaveric specimens and life-size models, students will explore anatomical structures in three dimensions, enhancing their spatial understanding and clinical application of anatomy.
- Thorax
- Abdomen and Pelvis
- Head and Neck
