802-1, 802-4. ANATOMY
The subject includes Histology and Embryology.
ANATOMY
A course of lectures, demonstrations and practical work during the Second and Third Years during which the structure and organization of all systems of the human body are studied. During the Second Year the structure of the limbs, the thoracic viscera, and the nervous system, is covered and in the Third Year the structure of the head and neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis is studied together with revision of the work done in the Second Year.
PRACTICAL WORK. The human body is dissected and students are re- quired to study the prepared dissections in the Museum. Demonstrations are given on previously prepared material and on radiographs.
HISTOLOGY AND EMBRYOLOGY
A course of lectures, demonstrations and practical work during the Second and Third Years during which the microscopic structure of human cells, tissues and organs is studied together with the general development of the body and the special development of its systems.
During the Second Year all aspects of the microscopic structure except that of the reproductive systems and special senses are studied. In addi- tion the general development of the human embryo up to the beginning of organ formation is studied together with the development of the extra- embryonic membranes, the placenta and the heart and blood vessels.
During the Third Year the microscopic structure of the reproductive systems and special senses is studied with revision of the work of the Second Year together with the development of the remainder of the systems of the human body.
