Overview
This unit provides you with basic knowledge of the structure of the human body. It describes how tissues are combined to form organs, and how organs and organ systems are organized to form adult body structure. The microscopic and macroscopic structure of the human body and some major body systems are covered. The general body plan is described and how the body plan is established during embryogenesis is discussed.

Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Describe the basic anatomical structure of the human body and some of the major body systems;
- 2
Describe the microscopic structure of the human body and how the primary tissue types combine to form a complete organism;
- 3
Explain how the general body plan is established in the embryo, and the processes of organogenesis and how major congenital abnormalities arise;
- 4
Demonstrate practical laboratory skills in anatomy & developmental biology;
- 5
Collaborate effectively as a pair or in a group to complete academic tasks;
- 6
Discuss and critically analyse anatomical and developmental biology studies.
Workload and teaching
- Laboratories18 hours
- Lectures24 hours
- Teaching approachOnline learning
- Teaching approachEnquiry-based learning
A total of 12 hours per week including 6 hours of directed learning (such as lectures and laboratories) and 6 hours of private study
Online lectures
To fulfil the unit learning outcomes, we will have multiple online practical classes where students investigate problems posed, and answer them - these will be provided as short-answer and automatically marked questions. Two optional face to face activities will be provided also.

Any student or staff member at Monash can gain free use of Anatomedia Online at any time or from any place.
General Anatomy (Eizenberg 2008 McGraw-Hill) Principles & Applications: This is your core textbook and it is highly recommended to have a permanent copy of this text. This will assist you in lectures and practical classes on Anatomical Principles.
Functional Histology (Kerr 2010 Mosby) - 2nd Edition (or 1st edition): This is a comprehensive guide to all things histology and has some excellent biological and functional concepts. VERY highly recommended for tissue biology.
Human Embryological and Developmental Biology (Carlson 2009 or latest edition Mosby): Good to remind you of important developmental biology concepts you learned in DEV2011 and will encounter in DEV2022.
For further reading any anatomy, embryology, histology texts.
