The structural and functional organisation of the human body at cellular, tissue, system and regional levels.
ANAT 241 provides a structured introduction to modern anatomy and cell biology by giving a hierarchical description of the human body, spanning cells and tissues through to systems and regional anatomy. Topical examples are used to illustrate each hierarchical level.
