Anatomy and Histology Anatomy and histology is the study of the
structure of living things. Your introduction to the area is
through the study of cell structure (histology) and the basic
tissue of mammalian biology and musculo-skeletal anatomy. In
senior year we divide your studies into four disciplines. You
will study topographical anatomy (bones, muscles, nerves,
arteries,veins); neuroanatomy (anatomy and organisation of the
nervous system); histology (microscopic anatomy of cells and
tissues) and embryology (development of an embryo from
fertilisation to fetus stage). Dissection plays a part. The
study of anatomy and histology does not begin until second year.
In first year, students are advised to study maths, biology and
chemistry and one other subject of choice. Anatomy and histology
begins with the study of cell structure and the basic tissues of
the mammalian body. In semester two, the unit covers
musculoskeletal anatomy and compares living humans and apes with
fossil hominids. Concepts in Neuroanatom
