12 points * 10 hours per week * First semester * Clayton * Prerequisites: ANT2011/2022 or appropriate background in biomedical science
ANT3011 is a continuation of second-year studies in human anatomy and will provide students with the opportunity to study functional anatomy of the head and neck. This subject will also provide complementary teaching of (i) the development and histology of organ systems associated with the head and neck and (ii) neuroanatomy, in a unit of neurosciences, which provides a structural basis for an advanced series of lectures on the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Techniques involved in tissue preparation for histology and histochemistry, and the assessment of morphological components of cells and tissues will also be considered.
Assessment
Essay (2000 words): 15% * Examinations (3 hours - MCQs, short and long essays): 50% * Mid-semester `flag-race': 15% * Viva voce examination: 15% * Practical work: 5%
