Anatomy of the Individual Module

The Anatomy of the Individual module, coded as CA42004, is a comprehensive course that delves into the wide range of anatomical variations found in human populations. This module is designed to explore how these variations form and their potential effects on human anatomy.

Module Details

• Credits: 15
• Level: 4
• Semester: Semester 2
• School: School of Science and Engineering
• Discipline: Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification

What You Will Learn

In this module, students will learn about:

• The variations found in the structures of the thorax, abdomen, limbs, head, and neck
• The surface anatomy of structures and how this varies between individuals

• How changes in anatomical structures can affect function and surgical treatment

By the end of this module, students will be able to:

• Discuss a range of adult human anatomical variations
• Understand the embryological basis of certain variants
• Relate structural changes to clinical consequences in diagnosis and treatment
• Identify major surface anatomy landmarks
• Relate surface landmarks to underlying structures
