Handbook

In this subject the anatomical principles and terminology of visceral cavities and organs introduced in pre-requisite subjects will be applied to the detailed study of the anatomy of the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity. The subject will also include the study of the microscopic structure, embryological development of the visceral systems and the anatomical basis of common clinical anomalies. The concept of integrated function of multiple body systems will be developed in each region. The teaching sessions will include practical classes including cadaver materials, digital resources and surface anatomy. You will be required to work together in small groups to take responsibility for your own learning and understanding of anatomy so that you are able to identify anatomical structure and function on a living body as you would in a clinical or professional context.
