Synopsis:
Objectives: This subject has four components: principles of human biology, organisation of the human body at the chemical, cellular and tissue level, injury and the response of the body to injury, and the musculoskeletal system comprising the upper and lower limbs. On completion of this subject students should have a basic understanding of the biological characteristics which distinguish living forms from non living things, evolutionary principles and the evolution of the human species; have a basic understanding of human genetics; have a strong understanding of the principles underpinning the study of disease and the ways in which the body responds to injury; have a detailed knowledge of the topographical and surface anatomy associated with the appendicular skeleton (excluding the pelvic and shoulder girdles), its structure and functional relationships and associated joints (excluding the hip and shoulder); have a basic understanding of the associated common disorders affecting the upper and lower limbs together with their radiographic appearances; have a detailed knowledge of the radiographic representation of the skeletal and soft tissue elements of the upper and lower limbs.
