A series of seminars on more specialised topics will also be provided. 
Module aims:The aim of this module is to prepare students for the more advanced courses in anatomy and developmental biology that they may wish to pursue in later years. The course provides a introduction to significant aspects of human anatomy and developmental biology. 
Module objectives:At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to describe and compare the principal structures of major human organs and systems, discuss the anatomical basis of the circulation and the nervous system, and discuss the anatomical basis for actions such as breathing and digestion. Students will also be expected to be familiar with the rudiments of embryonic development.
