| Brief description of the Unit |
Students will continue expanding knowledge of anatomy, with a focus on the cardiorespiratory systems and abdominal region. This includes a detailed study of gross anatomical structure and functional anatomy of the spinal cord, neck and cranial regions and viscera, physiological processes around special senses (including pain perception). The emphasis will be on gaining an integrated understanding of the human body through practical sessions including digital human cadaveric material and functional and clinical case-studies to facilitate the integration of material and correlation.
