2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this subject, you will be introduced to the cellular basis of life. The histology component will include the study of epithelial, connective, nervous and muscular tissues and selected organ systems - skin, vascular and specific dental histology. The anatomy component will mainly include the study of head and neck anatomy but will also introduce students to body cavities and the major organ systems that lie within these visceral cavities. Principles of anatomy will be introduced and applied to the anatomy of the head and neck relevant for dentistry. Lectures are supported by practical classes, which will include the examination of appropriate cadaver and radiographic materials and computer aided learning activities. .

Graduate Capabilities

Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Use appropriate skills to make accurate observations of anatomical structures or events and infer their relationship to function and communicate anatomical concepts using correct medical terminology in writing.
02. Explain the structure and function of the head and neck including its role in housing visceral structures, special sense organs and the central nervous system using appropriate medical terminology, surface anatomy and observational skills.
03. Explain the microscopic structure and function of basic tissues of the body, integumentary system, vascular system, salivary glands and specific oral tissues using appropriate histological and medical terminology.
04. Describe the anatomical basis of some common abnormalities of, or injuries to the head and neck.
