PP2110 - Comparative Mammalian Anatomy and Histology

Credit points:	03
Year:	2005
Student Contribution Band:	Band 2
Administered by:

A systematic consideration of the gross and microscopic structure of the human body, with emphasis on the functional implications of structure and on similarities and differences between the anatomy of man and other mammals. Aspects of mammalian development and of anatomical methods and techniques will also be included.

Learning Outcomes

• to appreciate some of the methods used in the study of anatomy and to explain how these methods can contribute to advances in knowledge;
• to describe the gross and histological structure of the human body in the broader context of comparative mammalian anatomy based mainly on the major domesticated mammals;
• to understand selected aspects of human and comparative mammalian embryology and to recognise the value of embryology in the interpretation of adult anatomy.
