Overview

This unit provides you with foundation 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 structures 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.

Offerings in 2022

Learning outcomes

When you finish this unit, you should be able to:

  1. 1

    Describe the general anatomical structure of the human body and selected body systems.

  2. 2

    Describe the microscopic structure of the human body and how the primary tissue types combine to form a complete organism impacting on gross anatomical structures.

  3. 3

    Explain how the general body plan is established in the embryo, and how this determines adult anatomical structure and impacts congenital anomalies.

  4. 4

    Demonstrate your ability to work collaboratively with peers and communicate effectively in oral and written forms.

  5. 5

    Demonstrate gross and microanatomy practical laboratory skills such as comparing and contrasting structure, function and development, and consider the ethical implications of learning from resources developed from human donors.

Workload and teaching

  • Lectures24 hours
  • Laboratories18 hours
  • Teaching approachOnline learning
  • Teaching approachEnquiry-based learning

The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.

The lecture content will be available online and provide the fundamental knowledge for the curriculum. Online learning will be used in online laboratories to complement and extend the lecture content.

To fulfil the unit learning outcomes, you will have multiple online and face to face laboratory classes where you will investigate problems posed, and answer them - these will be provided as short-answer questions and worksheets.

Access directly via: http://ezproxy.lib.monash.edu.au/login?url=http://www.anatomediaonline.com/

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 of any anatomy, embryology or histology texts.
