Anatomy is the basis of biomedical science, medicine, and dentistry. It is the scientific study of the structures that form the human body.
Our gross anatomy modules here at the University of Dundee involve full body dissection of flexible Thiel-embalmed cadavers. This will give you a realistic view of the 3-D anatomy of the human body.
What you will learn
In this module, you will:
work in a team to dissect a cadaver
learn about the ethical use of human tissue
study, dissect and identify the structures found in the:
thorax
back
upper limb
pelvis and perineum
lower limb
head and neck.
Research and write an essay about an applied anatomy topic
By the end of this module you will be able to:
safely use all common dissection instruments
use and develop learning strategies to begin to become an independent learner
identify the organs found in the:
thorax and abdomen
pelvis and perineum
head and neck
identify the bones, joints and muscles present in the:
thorax
abdomen
back
